The film had a theatrical release across Tamil Nadu on 5 August 2011. A reviewer from The New Indian Express wrote "Despite its minor flaws, Doo is a promising work from a debutant filmmaker", calling it a "well-attempted love story".[5] A reviewer from Indiaglitz.com wrote "Sriram Padmanabhan seems to have done his home work well, for the film is more like a mirror capturing the routine of youngsters who are in love these days. The dialogues are extremely casual but very realistic".[6] A reviewer from Sify also gave the film a mixed review, though stated "the film is an attempt at a clean entertainer by director Sriram and is to be commended in that aspect. Setting a reasonable pace, with no room for melodrama, emotional excess or over acting anywhere, the director succeeds in keeping you guessing the outcome till the end."[7] In contrast, a reviewer from film portal Behindwoods.com wrote "Doo reminds a lot of the mega hit Kushi in most aspects. An excellent premise for the director to show his mettle but Sriram struggles to exploit this advantage to his benefit", and concluded that the film could have been better.[8]
Sriram later moved on to work on Mappillai Vinayagar featuring Lollu Sabha Jeeva in the lead role, but the film did not eventually have a theatrical release.[9]
