Release and reception
[edit]Thabalkaran Thangai was released on 13 March 1970.[4] The following day, The Indian Express wrote, "While the picture is certainly recommendable for the absence of vulgarity and the assertion of a sense of values, it is however tedious. It lacks the finesse of K. S. Gopalakrishnan. Technically it is poor. There is hardly any movements of the camera. The story-telling is so much like in his previous movies that KSG has fallen a prey to his technique."[3]
