== Release and reception ==<br />
''Jeeva'' was released on 1 July 1988.<ref name="ReleaseDate">{{Cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=P9oYG7HA76QC&dat=19880701&printsec=frontpage&hl=en |title=Jeeva |date=1 July 1988 |work=[[The Indian Express]] |page=5}}</ref> On July 22 that month, N. Krishnaswamy of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' said, "Pratap Pothen, in his attempt to put together a commercial yarn for Satya Movies, totters between two stools of varied height. On the one hand he tries to give a modish feel to his film - the jazzy interiors, the costumes that his actors wear, the five-star hotel-ad agency ambiance - but on the other he has to give a long rope to hero Satyaraj's attempts to play to a plebeian constituency. Pothen ends up being stylish and moronic. This makes an incongruous mixture."<ref name="IE review">{{Cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=P9oYG7HA76QC&dat=19880722&printsec=frontpage&hl=en |title=Jeeva |last=Krishnaswamy |first=N. |date=22 July 1988 |work=[[The Indian Express]] |page=5}}</ref><br />
