== Release and reception ==
The film was released on 1 June 2018. A critic from the [[Times of India]] gave the film a negative review, though added "the only takeaway for the audience is the somewhat slick cinematography, with a couple of memorable visuals".<ref>{{Cite news |title=Antony Movie Review {1.5/5}: Critic Review of Antony by Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/antony/movie-review/64390157.cms |work=The Times of India}}</ref> A reviewer from the Hindustan Times noted "the film with a promising premise loses to bad writing, poor performances by the actors and the sound.
