Release and reception

Yogi Da released in theatres on 6 February 2026.[9] Akshay Kumar of Cinema Express gave 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "With its cloying commitment, Yogi Da reduces women’s equality to caricature, turning the protagonist into a performative symbol rather than a fully lived character."[10] Dinamalar rated the film with 2 out of 5 stars.[11]
