Release and reception

Oru Veedu Iru Vaasal was released on 7 September 1990.[2] The Indian Express said, "When you read a novel, if the author has any creative power and capacity to create engrossing characters, and if you have the sensibility to appreciate this, you enter into a whole new world. Seeing Kavithalaya's Oru Veedu Iru Vaasal directed by K. Balachander opened up such vistas for this writer."[3] Ki. Rajendran of Kalki praised the film for eschewing box-office ingredients like action, comedy and songs.[4] The film became a box-office bomb.[5]
