The film had a low-profile release across Tamil Nadu on 24 March 2017, following up from the delays it had during production. Reviewing the film, Behindwoods.com wrote "Director Adam Dasan’s writing has been uneven as his narration falls flat at places, and wanders around, without knowing where to move about" and that "he could’ve been clearer on what he wanted, and concentrated solely on that but the director knows the knack of connecting to audience’s emotions, and the scenes pertaining to that work well".[8] Sify.com called the film a "watchable action thriller", stating it was one of Bobby Simha's better films as the lead actor.[9] In their review, The Times of India stated "This film has some moving moments and superb songs by debutant Ajesh, but is let down by the uneven writing, overlong romance portions and a muddled final act".[10]
