Release and reception edit
Nalam Nalamariya Aaval was released on 27 April 1984.[5] Jayamanmadhan (a duo) of Kalki praised the acting of Mohan and Saritha and in regards to Shyam's music, they felt title song sounded like school player song but praised other songs. The duo praised Gajendrakumar's dialogues in the latter half of the film but panned him for writing dialogues which will be censored and they praised Jayadevi for placing her name at a crucial point but felt certain scenes were shot in amateurish manner and concluded she is better than other directors who have no script and expecting more in her upcoming films.[6]
