Reception
M.Suganth of 'Times of India' who gave 2.5 out of 5 stars after reviewing the film stated that "Rather than sending chills, the climax only evokes a cold indifference." 'Indiaglitz' gave a rating of 2.75 out of 5 stating that "Go for this one for the good performances and raw action." Srivatsan S of 'The Hindu' after reviewing the film stated that "In the opening credits, Vasanthabalan credits a few people for their conversations. What a wonderful gesture I thought. Perhaps there is a downside too; you shouldnt always go by hearsay."
Sudhir Srinivasan of 'Cinema Express' gave 2 out of 5 stars stating that "The real jail, when you are exposed to such attempts at humour in a film thats supposed to celebrate equality and empathy, is the movie theatre." Ashameera Aiyappan of 'Firstpost' who gave 2.5 out of 5 stated after reviewing the film that "In an interview about Sarpatta Parambarai, director Pa Ranjith speaks about how his objective was to show how perishable progress is for people from vulnerable communities. They do not have space for mistakes or impulse; one minor misstep and the modest progress they had made can all come crashing down. Jail tries to explore this emotional landmine as well. In its writing, we see the frameworks of a strong emotional drama. But it never rises above that."
'Behindwoods' after reviewing the film gave 2.5 out of 5 stars stating that "Jail is a watchable drama for GV Prakash's acting and the message it delivers."
