Aval Appadithan was released on 30 October 1978, on Diwali day. Although the film received positive critical reception, it was not a box office success at the time of its release.

The film was noted for its stylish filmmaking, screenplay, and dialogue, a large portion of it being in English. Aval Appadithan was the first film made by a graduate of the M.G.R.
