Release

Initially scheduled for an April release in 2000, the film was delayed due to the presence of bigger budget films. [2] The film opened in August 2000 to mixed reviews, with a critic from India Info noting "Kannal Pesava is director Raj Kaana’s attempt to woo the youth with a mushy love story in the wake of Kushy. But he only ends up giving a further setback to the film’s leading man Arun Kumar, who desperately needs a foothold in the industry". [3] Chennai Online wrote "What do you call a film that has nothing going for it? Either by way of freshness in narration or script or by way of an interesting star cast? That it is bland? 'Kannal Pesava' has an unexciting cast, insipid narration, and a lacklustre screenplay. The comedy team of Goundamani and Senthil makes matters worse. The director probably thought that just by giving the duo the names of Clinton and Mandela he could tickle the audience". [4]
