Release and reception

The film was released on 9 August 2024 alongside seven other films. [1]

A critic from The Times of India rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Park fails to leave a lasting impression, fizzling out like a damp firecracker. It’s neither scary nor amusing, just a bewildering mashup of outdated romance tropes and bargain-bin horror elements". [2] A critic from Cinema Express wrote that "The film is ineffective in almost every aspect that the logical loopholes stopped being bothersome after a point". [3] A critic from Maalai Malar wrote that director Murugan has directed the film based on the usual revenge story. [4]
