Release and reception
'Pagalil Pournami' was released on 11 May 1990. N. Krishnaswamy of 'The Indian Express' wrote, "From family melodrama to murder thriller to a horror line about spirits of dead persons hungering for revenge, 'Pagalil Pournami' traverses a range of story scenarios haphazardly. While this is diverting, the additional fact that the denouement (the word of French origin) means untying the knots, only reveals that the filmmakers have tied themselves up into knots that they cannot unravel."
