Kayamai Kadakka had its world premiere at Canada's Mosaic International South Asian Film Festival in December 2020, hosted online by the Digital TIFF Bell Lightbox. The film won Jury Prize at the festival and received special mention for Ensemble Performance, Screenplay, Editing, and Sound Design. It was later screened at the New York Indian Film Festival 2021, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2021, the Independent Film Festival of Chennai 2021 and the Caleidoscope Indian Film Festival Boston 2021. Following its release, The Times of India described the film as "an indie with ambition that manages to punch above its weight, Kayamai Kadakka is a minimalist thriller that keeps us guessing about where the narrative will go next." Cinema Express called the film an "intriguing slow-burner", while The News Minute noted it was a "well-made thriller let down by indefensible politics". References
