Release and reception

Idhayam was released on 6 September 1991.[8] N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express stated, "[T]he unimaginative, half-baked and immature treatment of the story often invites derision." About the cast performances, he said, "Murali, who is more accustomed to action films does not seem to fit into the role [of] the inwardly harried student ... Newface Hira, who has little to do except look serenely at everything around her, is well cast." Krishnaswamy added that Chinni Jayanth was "vibrant as the comedian".[9] The film performed well at the box office, and has since attained cult status in Tamil cinema.[10] The film was dubbed in Telugu under the title Hrudayam.[11]
