Release and reception

Euphoria was released on 6 February 2026.[5] Apart from Telugu, the film was dubbed and released in Tamil under the same title.[citation needed]

Yashaswini Sri of The Indian Express rated the film 4 out of 5 appreciated Gunasekhar's direction, Kaala Bhairava's score and the lead cast performances.[6] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu too praised Gunasekhar's work writing that "Gunasekhar delivers a sharp fictional drama rooted in a harrowing true story".[7] In contrast Suresh Kavirayani of The New Indian Express opined that despite a strong premise, the film loses grip due to flawed narration and inconsistent storytelling.[8]
