== Reception ==<br />
=== Critical response ===<br />
''The New Indian Express'' gave the film a negative review and wrote that "''Ayudha Porattam'' is confused issues, and misguided direction. A few more misadventures such as this, rather than resurrecting the hero’s dipping career, will, on the contrary, make it non-existent".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2011/sep/10/ayudha-porattam-289615.html|title=Ayudha Porattam|newspaper=The New Indian Express|date=10 September 2011|accessdate=1 July 2020}}</ref> ''Sify'' gave a similar review and stated that " The basic premise of the story is interesting, but the screenplay and characters are half-baked".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/ayudha-porattam-review-tamil-pcmaeAbcgfcde.html|title=Ayudha Porattam|website=Sify}}</ref><br />
