== Release ==
The film was initially set for release on 6 October 2017 but was delayed following a theatre strike against new taxes in Tamil Nadu.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2017/oct/06/seven-tamil-films-not-released-in-protest-against-local-body-tax-1667810.html|title=Seven Tamil films not released in protest against local body tax}}</ref> The film subsequently had a low profile release across Tamil Nadu on 27 October 2017, alongside another film, ''[[Kalathur Gramam]]'' (2017).

A critic from [[The New Indian Express]] gave the film a negative review, stating "there’s almost nothing positive about this film, which, to double the misery, is a bilingual" and that "it’s just about a truckload of issues that will make you laugh for the wrong reasons".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2017/oct/27/kadaisi-bench-karthi-one-for-your-spam-folder-1685087.html|title=Kadaisi bench Karthi: One for your spam folder}}</ref> Another critic from Tamil Nadu Central added "''Kadaisi Bench Karthi'' is so stale that you wonder what made Bharath agree to do this film", adding "the film had no big promotions and there is hardly anyone in the theatre to hoot or cheer" and that the film "is bound to be at the ‘kadaisi bench’ itself".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tamilnaducentral.com/2017/10/28/kadaisi-bench-karthi-review-stale-stuff/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=12 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180224044128/http://www.tamilnaducentral.com/2017/10/28/kadaisi-bench-karthi-review-stale-stuff/ |archive-date=24 February 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
