Reception
K. Vijiyan of 'New Straits Times' criticised the film for its abundance of songs, adding, "I have lost count of the numerous movies where one man reigns over a village using violence and there seems to be no law or order. Sadly, ['Senthamizh Selvan'] is another film in this genre, with nothing much to make it memorable or outstanding". 'Indolink' wrote "Manoj Kumar fails in all three departments -Screenplay, dialogues and direction. Skip it!".
