Release and reception

Thalattu Ketkuthamma was released on 5 November 1991.[3] The Indian Express wrote "With a storyline that can be written at the backside of bus ticket, it is not surprising that debutant director Raj Kapoor [..] spends most of the time beating around the bush".[4]

gollark: Very weird opinion.

gollark: I mean, what are they meant to do, sell it with "4 cores", one of which doesn't work, or throw away the slightly broken ones?

gollark: Intel and AMD and probably all or almost of the ARM manufacturers do that though.

gollark: I don't see how that's a problem. You shouldn't really expect to get an extra working core if it's disabled.

gollark: Broken components? Isn't that talking about it being possible to enable extra cores?
