Release and reception Antha Sila Naatkal was released on 29 April 1983 alongside another Venkat directorial Soorapuli. Jayamanmadhan (a duo) of Kalki praised the strong characterisation and Mohan's acting but panned the inclusion of Silk Smitha's song and double-meaning dialogues. The duo felt Ilaiyaraaja's tunes would have been composed during his tiredness and concluded it is okay even if one cannot give up the smell of the past because it is imported from the world of drama.
