The film was initially scheduled to release in October 1998, two months after the release of the Karthik-Roja starrer Unnidathil Ennai Koduthen, to coincide with Diwali. However, it was delayed for four months and eventually released on 5 March 1999. D. S.

The twists director Chitra Lakshmanan employs, manages to pull the movie through".
