Release & reception

This film was directly released on 27 August 2021, on Sony Liv.

''Times of India'' wrote "The tones of the individual stories don't always gel well, and this leads to uneven storytelling, unlike in a similarly structured hyperlink movie like Super Deluxe, in which every individual story gloriously came together in enthralling fashion. But to his credit, the director manages to make us care for a few of the characters that we stay invested in the proceedings even when they feel generic." ''Firstpost'' wrote "Kasada Thabara works not because of its high-concept foundation but despite it. If you can mentally eliminate the commentary track, the film itself is quite enjoyable".
