Release
Despite a huge star cast and a huge budget, Yuvathurki failed to create expected results at theatres. It was above average in Kerala but turned out to be a blockbuster in Telugu beating many Telugu movies that year and was a super hit in Tamil. Though made stylishly using high-end technology and cinematography, critics felt the movie had extreme violence and a highly complex way of narration, which the ordinary film viewer failed to understand.

The movie also managed simultaneous release in Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi and Telugu, a rare feat during those times. It was produced by Seven Arts & Amitabh Bachchan Corporation. The film was dubbed and released in Tamil as Delhi Diary by
