Release and reception
'Aalappirandhavan' was released on 10 April 1987. '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."
