Reception
Manoj Kumar R of 'The Indian Express' gave the movie 2/5 rating and commented that "the film seemingly has no inkling of how absolute power works". Lakshmi Priya of The News Minute rated the film with 2.5/5 stars, stating "the film can be read as a commentary on revisionist history and political appropriation with a lot to offer between the lines, but the lines themselves have little solid to offer". S.R.Praveen of The Hindu said "Theerppu comes perilously close to living up to that joke that some films are made quickly within the limited space of a room or a resort, and having no content worth speaking about". V Vinod Nair of The Times of India stated "the movie fails to make the impact we expect, with the first half is just about watchable and the second half lags too much", but rated the film with 3/5 stars. A reviewer of Onmanorama called it "a serious drama trivialised by confused mix of theatrics".
