Release and reception

The trailer was released in November.[6] The film was scheduled to release on December 6, but was later postponed to December 13.[7][1]

The Indian Express wrote "The director's lack of understanding of modern romance and his problematic perspectives are not the only problems with Capmaari. The pressing issue here is the misreading of the genre of adult comedy". It gave the film the worst possible rating of 0.5 out of 5, stating the movie a big "disaster" in the review.[8] The Times of India wrote "The first few minutes of a film usually tell you what to expect, and Capmaari reveals what it has in store in its opening scene – titillation in the guise of a romcom about modern-day youngsters".[9]

gollark: Can you operate the touchscreen underwater?
gollark: I don't actually care, as I do not routinely drop phones in water.
gollark: Phone companies, yes.
gollark: I don't think it's a necessary tradeoff. They're just doing it anyway.
