Release and reception
editAnnai Vayal was released on 25 September 1992.[7] Malini Mannath of The Indian Express gave the film a positive review, primarily for Ponvannan's dialogues, the cinematography, editing and music. She also appreciated Vignesh and Vinodhini's performances, but felt Raj Murali "has to work more on his expressions".[2] According to Ponvannan, the film did not came out the way he expected due to creative differences with the producer, hence the film failed at the box-office.[8]
