Release and reception



'Mappillai Sir' was released on 12 August 1988. NKS of 'The Indian Express' wrote, "The 'Maappillai Saar' objective is the taming of the arrogant Jayanthi [...] The taming of the shrew line having exhausted itself midway, the film occupies itself with an assortment of cooked up conflicts". Jayamanmadhan of 'Kalki' criticised the film for its writing, likening it to a car being driven without a brake.https://kalkionline.com/kalkionline_archive/imagegallery/archiveimages/kalki/1988/sep/04-09-1988/p17.jpg
