Release and reception

edit

Rajasthan was released on 1 May 1999,[3] delayed from April.[4] K. P. S. of Kalki praised Ilaiyaraaja's background score and found Sarathkumar's fights and his duet with Vijayshanthi as funnier and concluded the reality is that Pokhran, which did not help Vajpayee, is not going to help Selvamani.[5] K. N. Vijiyan of New Straits Times said the film "should appeal to all those who like plenty of action and Sarath Kumar fans".[6] D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "Sarath Kumar is hampered by inadequate support from the screenplay and dialogue".[7]
