Release and reception
Nanbargal was released on 14 February 1991. N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express wrote, "The film has a swift pace, some interesting characters, a lot of fun whipped by the hero's sidekicks [...] and fastpaced music (new entrant Babu Bose), but what is film music these days but canned cacophony". C. R. K. of Kalki said the film's first half was sweet, but post-interval portions were bitter.

After the film's success, a temple was built in Mamta Kulkarni's name.
