Release

The film opened on 21 April 2017 to mixed reviews from critics.^[4][5] 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."^[6] 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."^[7]
