Reception

Critical reception

Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India gave a rating of 2/5 and cited the film as "dull and disappointing fare". He felt that "Raja Vikramarka was seen in the past, in the form of many films and the beats feel familiar. This one fails to engage."[8] In contrast, Y Sunita Chowdhary of The Hindu felt that the film has a refreshing narrative. She further wrote that "the film is a good watch" and praised the writing department.[9] Writing for The Indian Express, Gabbeta Ranjith Kumar criticized the story and screenplay. He also opined that "a talent like Pasupathy, who entertained all with his acting prowess in Sarpatta Parambarai, is wasted here".[10] Pinkvilla also criticized the story narration, screenplay and cited the film as "an inept action-comedy that is shorn of logic".[11]

Box office

On its opening day, the film has collected a gross collection of ₹1.2 crore.[12]
