==Reception==
On 4 March 1983, ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote, "Century Productions' latest offering ''Sandhyakku Virinja Poovu'' directed by P. G. Vishwambaran succeeds in presenting the sentimental story of a doctor. Consequently, it also marks a departure from Vishwambaran's earlier films."<ref name=":0" /> the same day ''[[The Indian Express]]'' wrote, "While director P. G. Vishwambaran has excelled in his directorial role, he is supported by a tight screenplay and crisp dialogues by Thoppil Bhasi which makes the film pacy and towards the end highly suspenseful" further writing "Seema, as Dr. Bala gives a stand out performance, being particularly impressive in highly emotional sequences. She is matched in acting by Mammootty, who is advocate Jayamohan."<ref>[https://scontent.fblr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/298102151_446187557412192_3483886163348317725_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=dXjDT1oxHGoAX8Xu6T6&_nc_ht=scontent.fblr1-5.fna&oh=00_AfA2zoYFoe9AsMGrbI9njyW8_DKd8yKJCWUERIb7hp7t_g&oe=63CD0D65 Reviews]</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Doctor's dilemma |url=https://scontent.fblr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/298102151_446187557412192_3483886163348317725_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=dXjDT1oxHGoAX8Xu6T6&_nc_ht=scontent.fblr1-5.fna&oh=00_AfA2zoYFoe9AsMGrbI9njyW8_DKd8yKJCWUERIb7hp7t_g&oe=63CD0D65 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230120065817/https://scontent.fblr1-5.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/298102151_446187557412192_3483886163348317725_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=8bfeb9&_nc_ohc=dXjDT1oxHGoAX8Xu6T6&_nc_ht=scontent.fblr1-5.fna&oh=00_AfA2zoYFoe9AsMGrbI9njyW8_DKd8yKJCWUERIb7hp7t_g&oe=63CD0D65 |archive-date=2023-01-20 |access-date=2023-01-20 |website=[[Indian Express Limited]]}}</ref>
