Release
'The Hindu' opined that "The story could have been powerful and the screenplay appealing if the characters were logical in their actions and the flow had not been hampered by repulsive group dances and irrelevant sequences".
'Sri' remains director Pushpavasagan's only release. In 2006, he briefly worked on a project titled 'Uthama Puthran' with Vikranth, but the film was stalled.
