Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whiwhi "Soorarai Pottru" i nga arotake pai mai i nga kaitohutohu, i whakamoemiti ki nga waahanga hangarau nui o te kiriata, i te wa e whakanui ana i te mahi a Suriya me te aratohu a Sudha. I tohua hei tetahi o nga kiriata Inia tekau hei whakaatu i raro i te waahanga Kiriata Pai rawa atu i te 78th Golden Globe Awards. I whakawhiwhia te kiriata ki te whakaaturanga i te
93rd Academy Awards, engari kaore i tohua. I uru hoki te kiriata ki te Wahanga Panorama o te Shanghai International Film Festival. I tenei wa ko te toru o nga kiriata kua tohua i runga i te IMDb me te tohu 9.1, kei muri noa i te "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994) me te "The Godfather" (1972).
