Release and reception
'Vazhikatti' was released in 1965 after being in deadlock for nearly three years. T. M. Ramachandran of 'Sport and Pastime' said the film's release "in an unostentatious manner raised some doubts as to its quality. But all the misgivings have vanished into thin air and it has turned out to be above average". He praised the performances of the lead trio, along with Padmanabhan's writing, Ibrahim's music and Perumal's direction. 'The Indian Express' wrote, "A bane of the Tamil cinema is exaggeration in characterisation and incidents. It has spoiled or considerably lessened the effect of many a good theme. The latest victim is Kanaka Movies' 'Vazhikatti'." 'Kalki' called the story outdated and predictable, but said it could be watched once for Rajendran.
