Reception

Kalki called Anthimanthaarai a film lacking trademark elements of Bharathiraja and praised him for narrating the plot within two hours by lessening the dialogues and expressing with small movements and montage shots.[5] D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "The tragic tale of a freedom fighter, a firm believer in old values, gets the deft and poignant Bharathiraaja touches, heightening the value of the character in Mega Movies, Anthimantharai".[6] Anthimanthaarai won the National Award for the Best Feature Film in Tamil.[7] According to Vijayakumar, he was a strong contender for the Best Actor award, but lost by a single vote.[8]
