Release and reception
Reviewing the film at its preview show, on 28 March 2024, Roopa Radhakrishnan from The Times of India rated the film $1 1⁄2$ out of 5 and wrote that "The spookiness of a film, which revolves around multiple people fighting for their lives, is effectively conveyed. But if we go beyond that, the screenplay is all over the place".

Jayakumar, the owner of the production company Eight Entertainment Company who had given a loan of inr 2000000 approached the court seeking injunction against release of the film. After he did not receive his money back, he went to court and obtained an interim ban on the film's release till the dues are settled. The court subsequently put a stay on the film's release until 12 April.
