Release and reception
The film was released on 29 November 2019. The film met with mixed responses from both audiences and critics and was a commercial failure.

The Times of India gave 3.5/5 and wrote "Bramhachari deals with a serious issue, but never gets preachy. In fact, the performance issues of the protagonist are just the catalyst to a crazy comedy of errors. If you like comedies with that right bit of innuendos and gags, this one might just entertain you."

Bangalore Mirror gave 3/5 and wrote "Brahmachari is not a grand effort of a star vehicle. It depends heavily on the anecdotal comedy that is the staple of sex comedies. The story has been packaged well and is not short of the entertainment quotient. And of course there are the safety nets, in case you need them."
