Release and reception
Odangal was released on 28 November 1986. 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. 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.
