Release and reception

Operation Laila was released in theatres on 23 February 2024. The film's overseas distribution rights were bought by United India Exporters. Maalai Malar felt Srikanth was somewhat awkward when playing a police officer but Sharma did what was required of her, and the film was overtly familiar but appreciated the cinematography and background score. The film did not perform well at the box office.
