Release and reception

The film was released on 18 November 1961 with huge expectations, but bombed at the box office. The presence of Prem Nazir as Krishna, T. S. Muthiah as Kuchela and KPAC Sulochana as Kuchela's wife simply failed to attract viewers to the theatres.

It also got huge competition from Bhakta Kuchela, released a week before, which also has the same plot. Bhakta Kuchela was a blockbuster at the box office, and in its shadow, Krishna Kuchela bombed.
