Laila ultimately finds the courage to come out to her mother about bisexuality and her relationship with Khanum, both of which her mother strongly disapproves. Laila also confesses to Khanum that she had sex with Jared and asks for her forgiveness. Feeling betrayed by Laila, Khanum breaks up with her and leaves for New York. Shubhangini is diagnosed with advanced colon cancer which has relapsed after previous treatments. Laila and her mother move past their differences while Laila tends to her at the hospital. The two eventually reconcile shortly before Shubhangini's death. Laila plays a song (recorded by Shubhangini) at Shubhangini's funeral telling how much she loved her and how she was the only one who ever understood her. Laila is later seen drinking a margarita with a straw.
Margarita with a Straw premiered worldwide at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received a standing ovation. The event was attended by the cast and crew, including Bose and Koechlin; the latter said she was overwhelmed by the response and "loved to see the audiences cry and laugh with the movie".[33] The film was subsequently screened at film festivals across Europe, including the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival,[14] the BFI London Film Festival,[14] the Galway Film Fleadh,[34] the Vesoul Festival of Asian Cinema,[35] and the Giffoni International Film Festival.[36] Margarita with a Straw had its American premiere at the 2015 Palm Springs International Film Festival.[37] It was screened in Castro Theater at CAAMFest, and shown at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival later that year.[14][38] The film opened the 2015 New York Indian Film Festival,[39] and also featured at the 19th Busan International Film Festival and the Istanbul Film Festival.[14] Out on Film, Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, and Reeling were among the LGBT events that screened the production.[40][41][42]

Ahead of its commercial release, the crew organised several promotional events.[47] In an interview with the Indo-Asian News Service Koechlin talked about the importance of marketing for an independent film, saying that although the content of the films is becoming better, Bollywood remains an industry largely driven by box office gains.[48] Bose wanted the film to be marketed as a commercial one despite its art house appeal; she was not very keen on sending it to film festivals and later asked the producers to avoid mentioning the accolades at any of the promotional events.[49] The official trailer was released on 4 March 2015 on Viacom18 Motion Pictures' official YouTube channel.[50] First look posters featuring Koechlin sipping margaritas using a drinking straw were also unveiled on the same day. The film was released theatrically in India on 17 April 2015.[51] It is available on Netflix.[52]
Margarita with a Straw received positive reviews,[53][54] with some describing the film as "wonderfully liberating"[55] and "an achievement [for Indian cinema]".[56] Particular praise was directed towards Koechlin's performance and Bose's sensitive depiction of cerebral palsy.[53][57] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV lauded the honest depiction of disability and was pleased with how Laila's handicap eventually ceases to matter.[58] Baradwaj Rangan similarly found Bose's treatment of disability and normalcy refreshing: according to Rangan, "there's not a trace of stereotype, not a shred of self-pity" in the characterisation, and the most remarkable thing is that "Laila isn't a differently abled person. She's a person who is differently abled [...] human being comes first, the condition only later."[59] Firstpost's Deepanjana Pal was especially impressed by the sex scenes, which conveyed a "tenderness towards the on-screen lovers" without being weird or coy.[60]
Another example he cites is movies filmed and assembled before the soundtrack is written and composers asked to basically just imitate the style of pre-existing placeholder tracks, with the result that really distinctive film soundtracks seem to get fewer and fewer.
