Release and reception
Piousji of Sunday wrote, "Though Sivaji was rather impressive in the father's role he looked almost silly as the son."[2]
Vishwaroopam was released on 6 November 1980, Diwali. Despite facing competition from other Diwali releases such as Varumayin Niram Sivappu, Polladhavan and Nizhalgal.
gollark: Why would there be a release in just a week?
gollark: Probably should have gotten two while they existed.
gollark: At least I managed to grab one of the current ones before they went away.
gollark: I suppose we'll see in... actually I have no idea when the names are released or whatever.
gollark: That seems plausible.
