Release[]

The film was earlier scheduled for a theatrical release.[10] But, it was then decided to release on Aha on 26 March 2021.[11][12] Due to some production issues, it was again re-scheduled, and a new release date was announced as 11 June 2021.[13]

Reception[]

Sravan Vanaparthy of The Times of India, rated the film 2.5/5 and opined that the film could not reach its potential due to lackluster screenplay. On performances, Vanaparthy stated: "While both the leads Karthik and Priya deliver a great performance, it does not make up for the weak storyline. Naveen Chandra’s character as a trigger-happy police officer leaves him with little scope to perform," while praising the production values.[14] Cinema Express critic Ram Venkat Srikar who gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5 felt that though the film was well-intentioned, it misfired due to poor execution.[15]

A reviewer from Eenadu wrote, "While the storyline chosen by the director is laudable, they faltered in showing it strongly [sic]."[16] Anji Shetty of Sakshi who granted the film 2.5 stars out of 5 enchoed the same. Shetty appreciated the performances of the leads and music while pointing out screenplay as its weak point.[17]

A critic of gave a rating of 3 out of 5 and appreciated the performances done by various actors and the direction.[18] Karthik Kermalu of Film Companion wrote, "Men, young and old, drop dead for reasons such as rivalry and revenge. Even characters that appear for a brief period are killed in ghastly manners."[19]
