Release and reception
[edit]The film was not screened in multi-screen theatres and only survived off of word of mouth.[7]
A critic from The Times of India rated the film 1+1⁄2 out of 5 stars and wrote that "The forced love triangle replete with inconsequential kissing scenes and steamy songs is unnecessary. The film tries to bite off more than it can chew".[8] A critic from IANS wrote that "the film is amateurishly handled and although a mish-mash of genres it definitely tilts towards sleaze".[9] A critic from Cinestaan wrote that "On the whole, A Scandall scandalizes you with the complete absence of logic".[10]
