Reception

The film was released on 22 September 2023 on the aha streaming platform. A critic from OTTPlay wrote "debutant director Dinesh Kumaran's Maal is an idea that's good on paper, but completely falters in its execution", adding that the film is "let down by a weak screenplay, average performances and amateurish filmmaking".[4] A reviewer from Dina Thanthi noted that the film was "low on logic" but had some "high moments".[5][6]
