Release Due to the back-to-back releases of the Hindi films Dil To Pagal Hai, Ghulam-E-Musthafa, and Bhai along with the mishandling of Mysore theatres which were screening Mommaga, Mungarina Minchu was not released in the Mysore, Hassan, Kodagu, and Mandya districts.
Legacy In a write-up from 2020, a writer from Deccan Herald opined that Ramesh Aravind "played his roles to a T in complex dramas like Mungarina Minchu (1997), Hoomale (1998) and Chandramukhi Pranasakhi (1999)".
