Release and reception

The film was first scheduled to be released in March 2021 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was theatrically released on 11 March 2022.[2]

V Vinod Nair of The Times of India gave it a 3.5/5 rating and wrote that "If you are looking for a good thriller to kick off your weekend, Night Drive is the film for you".[3] A critic from Behindwoods wrote that it "is watchable but highly predictable thriller for the weekend".[4] The Indian Express opined that "The whole narrative style feels outdated and the sudden heroism thrust upon Roshan shows how filmmakers like Vysakh cannot come out of the formulaic thought process".[5] A critic from OTT Play stated that "Though Night Drive starts off as an atypical Vysakh thriller and eventually veers towards the director's familiar territory, the refreshing casting choices do the film a world of good in making it entertaining".[6] Anushka Rao of Digital Mafia Talkies wrote that "It is a highly recommended watch that is well worth your time."[7]
