Production

The film was announced to the media by Lyca Productions in January 2023 as a part of the Netflix Pandigai online event. The film marked the debut of T. Arul Chezhiyan, who had previously wrote the screenplay for Aandavan Kattalai (2016).[1] The director initially titled the film as Kudiyirukkum Koil and shot the project throughout 2022, before shortening the title to Kuiko. During the production stage, the film underwent a change in producers with AST Films taking over from Lyca Productions.[2][3]

A reviewer from Cinema Express wrote that "this rural drama attempts to be full of emotions, but lacks an anchor" [4] In contrast, a reviewer from South First wrote that "Arul Chezhian's brilliant writing, outstanding performances by the actors, and organic humour make this film a must-watch", adding that the film was "a gem that needs to be celebrated".[5] A reviewer from Dinamalar also gave the film a positive review, rating it at 3.5 out of 5.[6]
