He definitely came up with a good story and with the good cast that elevated the story, he has done a great job."[19]

Movicrow gave the film 2.25 out of 5 writing "What might have been a simple and relatable actioner, turns into a lengthy boring fair as the movie takes itself so seriously by trying to touch and bring together too many needless topics."[20] Ashameera Aiyappan of Firstpost gave the film 2 out of 5 criticizing the plot writing "The film argues that bravery is enough to win. But it is not enough to be bold; one also needs to be smart. Unfortunately, the film fails on that front."[21]

Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute gave the film 1.5 out of 5 criticizing the execution and writing but praised the action sequences and score, writing "Thu Pa Saravanan’s film is so full of cliches and convenient coincidences that I wondered if the title ‘Kaadhil Poo Soodavum’ would have been more suitable since that's what it demands from the audience."[22]
