Before release, Balu Mahendra said "Priyamani has come up with an excellent performance in the movie. Her performance would be widely acclaimed."Adhu Oru Kana Kaalam was critically acclaimed but failed to keep the cash registers ringing.She won acclaim for her performance. In 2006, Priyamani starred opposite Jagapathi Babu in Pellaina Kothalo. The film was a super hit and got her 3 Telugu films.Priyamani managed to prove her acting credentials and commercial appeal with 2007's Paruthiveeran, directed by the Tamil director Ameer Sultan, in which she was paired with debutant Karthi Sivakumar. A rural subject which told the story of a notorious young villager in Madurai, the film won critical acclaim and became a surprise box-office blockbuster.Priyamani's performance was unanimously praised: Indiaglitz cited "utterly cool and convincing"while another critic said "Priya Mani steals the show with her spontaneity and authenticity."She went on to win the National Film Award,followed by a South Filmfare Award,a Tamil Nadu State Film Award and an award at the Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema.She had another blockbuster in Telugu, opposite Jr. NTR in the 2007 film Yamadonga and opposite Vishal in the Tamil film Malaikottai.
