Critical response.
Rohit Ramachandran of "Now Running" rated "Kollaikaran" 1.5/5 calling it "a staple product from hack-haven Kollywood". "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". "Behindwoods" wrote "Kollaikaran manages to make a decent mark mainly because of the screenplay by director Thamizh Selvan which gets its characterisation right."
