Soori and Anna Ben's Kottukkaali has won the Grand Prix Award at the 22nd Amur Autumn International Film Festival in Russia. Actor Sivakarthikeyan, who has backed the film under his banner SK Productions, took to his social media handles to announce the news.

The film was selected in the Forum section at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival and was screened on 16 February 2024. It also received rave reviews at the Transilvania Film Festival. It was released theatrically on August 23 to critical acclaim.

Our CE review of the film read, "In this film about the torment of Meena, music would have felt exploitative. It would have been an obvious directorial ploy to have you react one way or another, but in its present form, Kottukkaali simply takes your hand and walks you around for a few hours with the family of Pandi and Meena—without telling you how you ought to feel."

The technical crew comprises of cinematography by B Sakthivel and editing by Ganesh Siva.
