Release and reception
Deiva Kuzhandhaigal was released on 14 September 1973.[4] Kanthan of Kalki lauded the performances of Jaishankar, Jaya, Sridevi and Ramu, along with S. P. Muthuraman's direction, but criticised the performance of R. Muthuraman, and the screenplay.[5] In Sridevi: The Eternal Screen Goddess (2019), Satyarth Nayak applauded Sridevi's performance in the scene where her character eulogises Indian history during a school play, and her "climactic death scene".[6]
