Critical response edit
Rohit Ramachandran of Now Running rated Kollaikaran 1.5/5 calling it "a staple product from hack-haven Kollywood".[4] Sify wrote "The story may be old fashioned and remind you of 70-80?s film, but the way it has been packaged with its unexpected twists and turns is what makes it tick".[5] Behindwoods wrote "Kollaikaran manages to make a decent mark mainly because of the screenplay by director Thamizh Selvan which gets its characterisation right."[6]
