Reception
The Hindu wrote "The story is old, the way the characters enact their roles is ancient, and melodrama is predominant, especially in Vadivelu's expressions."[2] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "This film with its snakes, good and evil, and the Goddess all seem to be in the director’s favourite genre. Not a very intelligent audience in mind when he made this film! What is surprising is that such a film could come from the production house of a K. Balachander!".[3] Lavanya of Deccan Herald wrote, "Like other Thyagaraja Bhagavathar movies, Raja Kaliamman is a melodramtic but lacks subtle narration".[4]
