Release

The film was released theatrically across Tamil Nadu on 23 April 2021. A critic from Times of India gave the film a mixed review, citing it "a plot which had scope for a decent fun outing becomes far-fetched". The critic added "though the makers haven't included some of the cliches we regularly come across in this genre, which is a big relief, the unusual plot and proceedings do not succeed in engaging us much."[8] A reviewer from Maalai Malar also gave the film a mixed review, while praising comedy scenes.[9]
