Release

Maaveeran was released on 1 November 1986, Diwali day,[2] and faced heavy competition with Punnagai Mannan and Palaivana Rojakkal.[3] The film failed commercially because, according to Rajinikanth's biographer Naman Ramachandran, the combination of Punnagai Mannan's director K. Balachander, lead actor Kamal Haasan, lead actress Revathi and the soundtrack by Ilaiyaraaja "proved too much for Maaveeran, and its audience was restricted to hard-core Rajinikanth fans".[4] The Indian Express wrote on 7 November 1986, "One Manmohan Desai in Hindi is enough. Was a Tamil import of his film necessary?".[5]
