Release and reception
Jeeva was released on 1 July 1988.[5] On 22 July that month, N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express said, "Pratap Pothen, in his attempt to put together a commercial yarn for Satya Movies, totters between two stools of varied height. On the one hand he tries to give a modish feel to his film – the jazzy interiors, the costumes that his actors wear, the five-star hotel-ad agency ambiance – but on the other he has to give a long rope to hero Satyaraj's attempts to play to a plebeian constituency. Pothen ends up being stylish and moronic. This makes an incongruous mixture."[6]
