On the occasion of Onam, Vettam was released on August 20, 2004. At the box office, the movie was a mediocre success. Although the movie did not do particularly well at the box office, it has become something of a cult classic over time. Thanks to the humorous elements contributed by the entire cast, not just the main performers, the movie acquired popularity after its TV premiere and is now regarded as one of films that are repeatedly watched by audience of all ages.
