Amma Vandhachu was released on 26 June 1992 and distributed by Surya Films.[5] Lalitha Dileep of The New Indian Express stated, "an entertainment film; a fine amalgame of sentiment and subtle comedy that bear the trademark of Bhagyaraj's film" and praised the lead performances.[3] K. Vijiyan of New Straits Times wrote, "this movie should satisfy all Bhagiaraj fans looking for his own brand of humour".[2] According to Bhagyaraj, the film underperformed commercially because "the first part was funny and the last too serious".[6] At the 13th Cinema Express Awards, Sridevi won the award for Best Child Artist.[7]
