Release and reception
The film had a theatrical release across Tamil Nadu on 11 November 2011.[7] A reviewer from DesiMartini wrote "for a movie which was supposed to be an edge of the seat psycho-thriller, there should have been an element of suspense spiced up with a racy screenplay. The suspicion element was broken even before the story started to unfold while the screen play limped every now and then halting the proceedings."[8]
The film took a poor opening at the box office and underperformed commercially.[9] The lead actor, Udhay Karthik, later appeared in films including Bala's Paradesi (2013) and the unreleased Ivaluga Imsai Thaanga Mudiyalai, which was shot in 2017.[10]
Home media
The film satellite rights were purchased by Kalaignar TV and uploaded on YouTube channel of Kalaignar TV Movies from 26 September 2025.[11]
