Release and reception

The film was released alongside the low budget films '' Girivalam'' and '' Gurudeva'' and did not fare well at the box office. Malini Mannath of ''Chennai Online'' wrote that "It seems like a script written in haste, with not much serious thought going into it. A disappointment from the team of Sunder C. and K Selvabharathi (director and story dialogue writer respectively), who'd given us such a breezy entertainer like 'Ullathai Allithaa'. Thaka Dhimi Tha is just wasted steps!" A critic from ''BizHat'' wrote that "Sundar C’s hilarious narration of a routine story makes it enjoyable". ''
