Reception
Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India rated the film three out of five stars and wrote, "Kolaiseval bets everything on its final act, and the bet pays off. Whether the long walk there fully earns it is the only question worth arguing about".[5] Akshay Kumar of The New Indian Express rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "the makers struggle to maintain the excitement, despite a runtime of less than two hours. Thankfully, Kolaiseval doesn't dissipate quickly either".[6]
