Release & reception

This film was directly released on 27 August 2021, on Sony Liv.[11][12]

Times of India wrote "The tones of the individual stories don't always gel well, and this leads to uneven storytelling, unlike in a similarly structured hyperlink movie like Super Deluxe, in which every individual story gloriously came together in enthralling fashion. But to his credit, the director manages to make us care for a few of the characters that we stay invested in the proceedings even when they feel generic."[11] Firstpost wrote "Kasada Thabara works not because of its high-concept foundation but despite it. If you can mentally eliminate the commentary track, the film itself is quite enjoyable".[13]
