Kavari Maan was released on 6 April 1979.[8] Though fans were unwilling to accept Ganesan portraying a wife killer,[9] the film emerged a commercial success.[10][3] Kaushikan of Kalki criticised the story but praised Muthuraman's direction, adding that the deer in the film's title was not leaping, but roaring.[2]
