Prior to release, the film garnered attention for being the "longest one-shot film in India". In late 2020, the entire film was shot in about 8 hours with 80 technicians on the set.[1] Prior to the shoot, the cast members rehearsed for up to 180 days.[2] Soon after its shoot, the makers marketed it as "the first movie in the Indian film industry to be entirely completed in a single shot", but later backtracked after the theatrical release of R. Parthiban's Iravin Nizhal (2022), another single shot film.[3][4][5]
The film's director, Aju Kizhamala, revealed that he had rejected advances from OTT service providers in late 2020 to ensure the film had a theatrical release.[6]
The film was released on 23 September 2022 across Tamil Nadu. A critic from Maalai Malar gave the film a mixed review, noting that it "lacked excitement".[7] Film critic Malini Mannath gave the film a positive review, writing "it’s appreciable that the director has managed to confine his story telling to less than two hours of viewing time. ‘Drama’ is at its best a promising piece of work from a new entrant to the Tamil screen".[8]
