Release and reception[edit]

Mangaiyar Ullam Mangatha Selvam was released on 31 August 1962.[2] On the same day, The Indian Express wrote, "Unimaginatively contrived, the film is vivid and artistic, without being precise. Its pictorial imagery falls to blend with the story content, which is thin and far in excess of the usual padding and synthetic thrills."[4]
