Release and reception[edit]
Sorgam was released on 29 October 1970, Diwali day.[7]The Indian Express said on 7 November, 'There are some films which try to go off the beaten track, and just when the viewer begins to say hurrah, they return to familiarity. Going off the beaten track in such cases appears to be a halt. This is what happens in Vinayaka Pictures Sorgam [...] You are at a loss to discover whether the director is brave or just cunning.'[1] Despite being released alongside another Ganesan film Engirundho Vandhaal, the film was a commercial success,[6] running for over 100 days in theatres.[8]
