Release and reception
Dharavi was released in theatres on 2 March 2018.[2] Ananda Vikatan criticised the story, screenplay, comedy and dubbing.[3] Cinema Express wrote that the film was "very much a masochistic exercise, and one which it’s near impossible to write about in any meaningful way".[4] Tamil Cine Talk also gave a negative review, and wrote that the CBI should investigate whether the film was really directed by Pavithran, or someone else using his name.[5]
