Release and reception

Deivapiravi was released on 14 April 1985 coinciding with Puthandu. The film faced competition from two other Mohan-starrers Udaya Geetham, which released a day earlier, and Pillai Nila. The film was not as successful as those films, but ran for one-hundred days. Mohan gained appreciation for his performance in the film.[2] Jayamanmadhan of Kalki wrote leaving the theatre feels like it was like sitting day before yesterday probably because Hindi film ran because of Sridevi.[6]
