Alam Ara was released on March 14, 1931, and did well at the box office. The performance and songs received the most attention from critics, with some criticising the sound recording. Aside from its commercial success, the picture was widely regarded as a major milestone for the Indian cinema industry and Ardeshir Irani's career due to its status as the country's first sound feature. Although no print or phonograph record of the picture is known to exist, making it a lost film, it does have surviving artefacts such as stills and posters. The British Film Institute named it the most important lost film created in India in 2017.
