Release and reception Krishna Kuchela was released on 18 November 1961, nine days after another film based on the same story, Bhakta Kuchela. Though Bhakta Kuchela was a box office success, Krishna Kuchela was not. According to historian B. Vijayakumar, "The presence of Prem Nazir as Krishna, T S Muthiah as Kuchela and KPAC Sulochana as Kuchela's wife simply failed to attract viewers to the theatres."
