Release and reception
'Dharmam Thalai Kaakkum' was released on 22 February 1963, and distributed by Emgeeyaar Pictures. On 1 March 1963, 'The Indian Express' wrote, "Though the plot is routine, the acting, especially by M. G. Ramachandran, rescues the film from its banality. As a doctor, [Ramachandran] does a very sincere work and provides most of the interesting moments the picture has." Kanthan of 'Kalki', however, criticised the story for lack of freshness.
