The film was released on 26 January 2023 across Tamil Nadu. A critic from Times of India gave the film a middling review, noting "more than the content or its form, it's the lead actors who save the film".[2] A reviewer from Cinema Express wrote "impeccable performances, technical brilliance let down by uninspiring writing", adding that "Beginning would have been an extremely inferior film in the hands of amateur leads. But Vinoth and Gauri deliver take care of the heavy lifting".[3] A reviewer form Maalai Malar gave the film 3.25 out of 5 stars, praising the performance of the lead actors.[4]
