Release

The film received positive reviews upon release, with a critic from Indolink.com noting it was "worth a watch". Another reviewer mentioned "Some movies surprise us. They involve us quite successfully throughout the duration of the movie though we wonder how when we think about them later. ''Ooty'' is one such movie. The credit for its effectiveness largely goes to director Anwar who has fashioned an interesting movie out of a story and situations which we have seen before."
