However, the film opened to mixed reactions from the audience. The gory scenes and unengaging screenplay received backlash. Iraivan was released along with Chithha and Chandramukhi 2. While Chithha managed to garner good word of mouth, Chandramukhi 2 registered a good opening.

The team of Iraivan has now decided to trim the movie by 13 minutes. The updated duration is 2 hours and 16 minutes. The new version of the film started screening today. We'll have to wait and see if this move would make any difference to its word of mouth.
