Reception
The Hindu wrote "That Mammon  alone  will  not  bring  happiness  is  focused  in Devikamal  Films'  Rettai Roja, a film in a light  vein  with touches of sentiment. The nucleus of this adult theme is based on Indecent Proposal,  with a rich young lady buying    the husband of a greedy woman and marrying him, while the wife slowly feels  the pinches of acquired wealth, repents for  her  mistakes and  regains her husband. This out of the way theme in a  country where  women  are worshipped for their virtues is dealt  with  by director Kayar (A. Kothandaramaiah) without hurting the image  of the distaff side."
