Film historian Randor Guy wrote "Chakravarthi Thirumagal remembered for the interesting storyline, good music, song and dance sequences and taut on-screen narration. A Song and dance sequence 'Aaadavaanga annaathey' sung off-screen by Sirkazhi Govindarajan, Jikki and P. Leela, with words such as 'gummaalu' was a hit. Sohanlal and Thangaraj choreographed the dances by Ragini, E. V. Saroja and G. Sakunthala."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/chakravarthi-thirumagal-1957/article1653988.ece|title=Chakravarthi Thirumagal Reviews|accessdate=2014-09-21|publisher=the hindu}}</ref> |
