Release and reception

Adanga Maru was released on 21 December 2018 to positive reviews. Thinkal Menon of The Times of India rated it 3 out of 5, saying, Adanga Maru has a routine plot, but the treatment makes it fast-paced and interesting.[6] Behindwoods wrote, Adangamaru's fresh screenplay and packaging makes this intense revenge drama, a good watch.[7] The Hindu wrote, thanks to its speedy screenplay, Adanga Maru finishes as a fairly engaging watch.[8] India Today wrote, Debutant director Karthik Thangavel's Adanga Maru starring Jayam Ravi could have been a flawless cop thriller, but it misses the mark by a few inches.[9] The Indian Express wrote A more nuanced, well-thought-out storyline with better CGI could have definitely elevated the revenge saga. Adanga Maru is strictly a one-time watch.[10]
