Release and reception

Vanna Kanavugal was released on 9 July 1987.^[6] The Indian Express wrote, "Dreams glitter, but reality is forbidding. This truism blossoms in contrasty colours in Vanna Kanavugal" [...] Karthik has shown that he can play the tough guy too".^[7] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki appreciated the lack of songs, the dialogues and outdoor photography, but felt many unnecessary characters were abundant.^[8] Though Ameerjan was sceptical about the film's commercial viability, given its lack of songs, the film was a success and ran for over 100 days in theatres.
