Release and reception

Despite being completed in 2016, Vallanukkum Vallavan was released on 20 January 2023, seven years after the delay.[7]

India Today gave a negative review citing "It's an age-old story which looks very 80s and Bobby Simha’s character is not a novelty factor. Though the director has tried to add some elements of comedy along with the con angle, it doesn’t work" and concluded the film "can be given a complete miss".[8] The Times of India wrote "Vallavanukkum Vallavan would have definitely worked for the audience if it would have released few years ago as planned. But now, having witnessed a lot of films of this genre, it might hardly engage the viewers."[9]
