Release and reception
Paasam was released on 31 August 1962,[2][3] and distributed by Emgeeyaar Pictures in Madras,[4] delayed from a 24 August release.[5] The film failed commercially because fans of Ramachandran could not digest seeing his character dying and considered it anticlimactic.[6]Template:Sfn Ramanna received hundreds of letters from fans condemning him. He said the film's ending not only made him understand the actor's dominance, "but also that one could not say things that are in contradiction with people's sentiments".Template:Sfn
