Reception of the film
The Mollywood action drama was theatrically released on November 21. It received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the performances, while the typical mass treatment of the film drew criticism. Among the ticket-buying audience, word of mouth was average, thus failing to create any post-release buzz. Such a reception resulted in poor footfall.

Vilaayath Budha started its domestic ride with just 1.7 crores and managed to multiply the opening day collection only three times. As per the collection update, it earned 5.18 crore net at the Indian box office, which is a dismal score. Including GST, the gross collection is 6.11 crores. Overseas, too, it turned out to be a big failure, earning just 2.6 crores, as per Sacnilk. Combining the Indian and overseas gross, its closing collection at the worldwide box office is 8.71 crore gross.
