The film's original Tamil version was released worldwide on 1 October 2015. The film was dubbed into both Telugu and Hindi, which were released a day later on 2 October 2015.[9] The film received mixed reviews from critics with praise for the visual effects, cinematography and the performances of the cast; but criticised the screenplay and writing.[10][11]
The story revolves around the clash between humans and demons (Vedhalams) in a Kingdom ruled by demons, where the protagonist fights for justice, of the ruthless slaughtering of humans by demons, but his ancestry turns out to be a mystery.
Puli recovered its ₹100 crore investment through profit in satellite and digital rights.[12]
