Release and response
[edit]The film was released on 28 March 2014. Producers were able to screen limited shows of the film due to the technical errors caused within the cinema, forcing abrupt interruptions in screening further shows.[4] Due to this struggle, it failed to garner enough hype to the film.[5]
