Release

The film opened on 21 April 2017 to mixed reviews from critics. ''The Hindu'' wrote "The film is mildly reminiscent of Balaji Sakthivel's Kaadhal (2004) that handled similar themes with more finesse and vision. Nagarvalam, though, ends up being such an over-long bus journey — you would rather hop off the bus and take an autorickshaw than sit through all its stops." ''The Times of India'' wrote "The film needed more such tense moments than ones like the forced drama that we get at the interval point."
