[11] This approach was announced during the trailer launch event and implemented prior to the film's release. [12] [13] [14]

Theatrical release

The film was released theatrically on 19 July 2024. [2] [3]

Critical reception

Shashiprasad SM of Times Now rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Not Out is another film that tries to rekindle the harsh realities of life in the background of the pandemic. That apart, it hardly offers anything even in terms of entertainment." [15] Jagadish Angadi of Deccan Herald gave it three-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "The story is presented as a flashback. In a way, the narrative itself is the protagonist." [16]

Vinay Lokesh of The Times of India gave the film three out of five stars and wrote, "A Compelling Story with the Right Twist". [17] Y. Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "It is worth a watch for family audiences." [1]
