Reception[]

Critical response[]

The film met with mixed reviews. Indian Herald gave the film 3 stars for its performances and action writing "Overall, A Regular Action Drama with Vishal's Action is the saving grace."[18] Pinkvilla gave the film 3 out of 5 praising the story and performances but criticized the outdated plot, writing "Director Thu Pa Saravanan needs an appreciation here. 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]

Box office[]

The film made an opening weekend collection of ₹10.25 crore (US$1.4 million). As of 27 February 2022, it has grossed over 45 crores worldwide and is commercially successful.[23]
