Release and reception

Sarasa B.A. was released on 9 July 1965. ^[4] The Indian Express called the story "topsyturvy", adding, "Bhanumati and Balaji do manage to inject some life into the drab proceedings and Malli Irani's camerawork does show enterprise in many sequences. But what can they do when everything else about the film smacks of mediocrity?". ^[3] Kalki also gave the film an unfavourable review, but said Bhanumathi's performance gave the story some dignity. ^[8]
