Release and reception

The Times of India gave the film two and a half stars out of five and wrote: "Go watch this one this weekend if you cherished the memories you made at ammamma’s home during the summers. But if real life holds enough family politics for you, give this one a cold hard miss".[2] The Hindu noted that "With lazy acting by everybody and poor story development, there is no high point in the film and not a single scene that makes for a compelling watch".[3]

In 2019, the film was dubbed into Hindi as Naani Maa. The Hindi version saw a positive response as the film reached 11 million views in two days and was ranked number two on trending.[4]
