===Critical reception===
Sanjith Sidhardhan of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film three in a scale of five and said, "Parole has the elements that would appeal to a family audience – action, drama and sentiments – but a taut script and trimmed first half would have made it an even more engaging venture."<ref>Sanjith Sidhardhan (6 April 2018).
