The film was released on 22 November 2013 alongside Selvaraghavan's 'Irandam Ulagam' at the Chennai box office. The Times of India's reviewer gave the film a negative review, stating "it takes a special kind of talent to totally make a mess out of a minimalist thriller" and that "the film has the vibe of a shoddily-made student film and it becomes difficult to take it seriously". A critic from Maalai Malar also gave the film a negative review.

The film took a poor opening at the Chennai box office and did not perform well commercially.
