Production
Nitish Veera's death in April 2021 prompted the makers to rework the film's script, with Sridhar's character portraying another version of Veera's character.[3]
Reception
The film was released on 9 June 2023 across Tamil Nadu. Reviewing the film, a critic from Times of India wrote "when makers forget to develop a one-line into a proper feature script, this is what the result will look like" and that "though the core idea is good, Bell suffers from amateurish filmmaking and lacklustre performances, ultimately resulting in a disappointing viewing experience".[4] A reviewer from Cinema Express wrote "the film struggles to present a story that was mangled, to begin with" and "despite some sincere performances, the problems are further exacerbated by an unfocused creative vision".[3]
