==Release==<br />
The film opened on 1 January 2016 to mixed reviews, with a critic from [[Times of India]] noting "much of the humour is silly and we do experience a twinge of embarrassment for having laughed at the uninspired jokes — but that happens only after the film is over". The critic also likened the film's plot to ''[[Massu Engira Masilamani]]'' (2015) and ''[[Om Shanthi Om]]'' (2015), stating that in "less than a year, we have had three Tamil films which have been inspired from the Korean comedy, ''[[Hello Ghost]]'' (2010)".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/Peigal-Jaakkirathai/movie-review/50425880.cms|title=Peigal Jaakkirathai Movie Review, Trailer, & Show timings at Times of India|publisher=}}</ref><br />
