    Reception[edit]

    The Indian Express said, "Anbulla Appa anchors itself on the Sivaji-Nadiya equation not giving itself room even for lateral movement for plot development."[5] JayamanmadhanofKalki praised the performances of Sivaji Ganesan and Nadhiya and also praised Vinu Chakravarthy and Manorama's humour and Shankar–Ganesh's music.[6] The film did not do well at the box office and eventually became the final collaboration between Ganesan and Tirulokchandar.[7]
