Suzhal was released in theatres on 27 July 2012. A review from The New Indian Express wrote "an interesting tale, if only it was original. A straight lift of the chilling French thriller 13 Tzameti (2005), the film faithfully followed the original with only minor changes for nativity." A reviewer from The Times of India wrote "both the script and its execution are immature to say the least and what should have been a tense cat-and-mouse game ends up as a joke that tests your patience." The film had a below average run at the box office. == References ==
