Release and reception

Prior to release, the film was highly anticipated as it would mark the film debut of television anchor Ranjini Haridas. It was released on 4 January 2013. It received mostly negative reviews with critics panning the film due the poor acting skills and dialogue delivered by Ranjini. Veeyen of Nowrunning.com rated the film 1/5 and concluded that "Ranjini might be the only reason, why you might have walked into the theatre to see the film, in the first place. And 'Entry' should be a disappointment of gigantic proportions, for her fans and detractors alike."
