Kaattu Rani was released on 4 February 1965.[1] Writing for Sport and Pastime, T. M. Ramachandran called the film "a poor imitation of Hatari" and criticised Thirumugam's direction.[5] The Indian Express called it "old Sandow Chinnappa Devar and his jungle felines box office formula" and added, "Someone said this is a mass film and not for the discerning few; so let us leave it at that".[6] The film grossed 157,398 (US$1,900); after paying 77,585 (US$930) as entertainment tax, it sustained a loss of 13,982 (US$170).[7]
