Release and reception

Avan Amaran was released on 23 May 1958.[7] As it was a leftist-oriented film there were more than 72 cuts ordered by the censor board and on appeal it was reduced to 52 and after screening it to the then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Finally 35 cuts were approved and censor board certification was given. In this dragging background the film's release was delayed by more than six months. When released there was a severe power cut at Tamil Nadu, then Madras state, and theaters were allowed to run only one show. This toppled the film's success and so it become a failure at the box office.[8][9]
