Release and reception

[edit]

Nanbargal was released on 14 February 1991.[8] N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express wrote, "The film has a swift pace, some interesting characters, a lot of fun whipped by the hero's sidekicks [...] and fastpaced music (new entrant Babu Bose), but what is film music these days but canned cacophony".[9] C. R. K. of Kalki said the film's first half was sweet, but post-interval portions were bitter.[10]

After the film's success, a temple was built in Mamta Kulkarni's name.[3]
