It was finally released on 6 July 2007.[5] A week after the film's release, another ad for his film had attracted the attention of the public with mentioning the film Kireedam (2007).[6] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "It's a film that one goes to without any expectation. So there's not much disappointment either".[7]
