The film was released on 8 November 2007, coinciding with the festival of Diwali. [6] [7] In the review by Sify .com, the critic noted "Agra, is a simple straightforward love story, packaged with enough steamy scenes to attract the audiences and carrying an "A" certificate with cuts from the censors", adding "the film's main attraction is the steamy scenes in the first half and a sizzling provocative item number from Abhinayashree post-interval". [8] Malini Mannath of ChennaiOnline.com wrote "The debutant director has chosen some eye-catching locations as the backdrop for his scenes. But the script is weakly etched". The reviewer added "The most irrelevant part of the script, these seem to be a desperate attempt by a debutant director to hard-sell a love-caper with the help of some sleaze." [9] A reviewer from Webdunia also gave the film a negative review, calling out the film's adult theme. [10]
