''Aalappirandhavan'' was released on 10 April 1987.<ref>https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=P9oYG7HA76QC&dat=19870410&printsec=frontpage&hl=en</ref> ''[[The Indian Express]]'' said, "With an offbeat storyline that anyhow paves the way only for bloody violence — so common this line of approach has become that even a child would refuse to be impressed — college professor turned filmmaker A. S. Pragasam deserves a pat for attempting to develop on a fresh idea, but his jerky and inane narrative falls between the two stolls of reality and fantasy and sinks in the morass of sheer incapacity."<ref>https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=P9oYG7HA76QC&dat=19870424&printsec=frontpage&hl=en</ref><br />
