Release and reception
The film was released in theatres on 31 December 2021. Navein Darshan of Cinema Express wrote, "Thanne Vandi was promised to be a tale of a man with drinking issues and also happens to own a water truck (hence the title). But the film ends up delivering a feel similar to a never-ending drunk talk of a distressing acquaintance, who assumes to be the star of the evening". A critic from Maalai Malar gave a mixed review for the film during its rerelease.
