Release

edit

The film's title 12-12-1950 meant that the film didn't have any problems with title changes during release. Other films that depicted Rajinikanth faced issues as those films explicitly stated Rajinikanth's name such as Main Hoon Rajinikanth and Perumaan The Rajinikanth.[1]

Reception

edit

Maalaimalar called the film "festive".[5] Film portal nettv4u wrote that "12-12-1950 is not a bad film but doesn’t impress the viewers".[6] Chennai Vision called the film's theme a positive and negative aspect.[7]
