A critic fromThe Times of India rated the film2+1⁄2 out of 5 and wrote that "Vithaikkaaran is a film that works best when the comedy and drama elements are intertwined. The film does have a few serious elements which are really entertaining , but still , these portions don't work as well as its dark comedy moments and meta-jokes".[6] A critic fromCinema Express rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Sathish’s restrained performance as Vetri isn’t enough to save this act that is bland and lacks a punch to hold its audience’s attention span. I often found myself drifting away with the convoluted screenplay in the second half that tries to add humour, wittiness and action in scenes that are already all over the place".[7]
In March 2024, the film was made available to watch on Simply South andAmazon Prime Video.[8]
