Release and reception

The sloppy editing and uneven pacing only makes things worse".[9] A critic from Behindwoods rated the film 0 out of 5 and opined that "To sum it all, Kalla Thuppaakki is unbelievably inane and is a tiring watch and makes you wonder what the director was smoking to come up with such claptrap".[10]
