Release and reception

Oh Butterfly was released on 6 March 2026. The film received an A certificate (adults only) from the Central Board of Film Certification, with the X account of Anthill Cinema tweeting, "A is for Adults with a past. A is for Awkward truths. A is for After midnight conversations. An A-certificate for A-grade tension".

Bhuvanesh Chandar of The Hindu wrote, "And at a time when Tamil films seem too eager to achieve greater heights, this is a film that manages to stir something strong in you by merely flapping its wings and seems all the more content with the heights it soars". Vishal Menon of The Hollywood Reporter India wrote, "Oh Butterfly might not be compelling cinema from the word go, but its appeal lies in making you see layers within deeply flawed people and the prisons they build for themselves". Jayabhuvaneshwari B of Cinema Express rated the film three out of five stars and wrote, "the film creates a sense of claustrophobia, drawing us into uncomfortable truths and keeping us intrigued, even as it occasionally tests our patience". Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India wrote, "Oh Butterfly has the craft to unsettle you. It just doesn't have the script to stay with you".
