Reception

[edit]

N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express wrote, "Ashok Kumar exploited the twilight world between fact and fantasy pertaining to sex [..] and in Andru Peytha Mazhayil he uses from every weapon in his armoury to heighten the play-of-passion effect".[4] Ashok Kumar had hoped that Smitha would win the National Film Award for Best Actress, but she did not.[5]
