Release and reception

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".^[4] 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."^[5]

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.^[6]
