Release and reception

Odangal was released on 28 November 1986.[5] On the same day, The Indian Express criticised the film for its excessive violence and said Naveena "has the face and the physique that can make a good acting career. She has some talent too", but felt Sanjay was unimpressive, and appreciated Sampath–Selvam's music.[2] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki panned the acting of the lead pair and Vairamuthu's dialogues but praised the acting of Senthamarai and Manorama, and the music.[6]
