Release and reception
Manasara Vazhthungalen was released on 12 September 1991. N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express wrote, "The film moves in fits and starts and quite haphazardly. Things happen all of a sudden, without prior warning or development". The film failed at the box-office as the collections were not enough to cover the increased production costs.
