Reviewing Amaran, news house Times of India observed that the director has succeeded in doing justice to the brave soldier while faltering in presenting him as a family man.

However, the news portal mentioned that each action sequence of the movie is nail-biting, taking the audience on the edge of their seats. “Those portions truly manage to elevate the film and help the film fully justify its genre.

It further underlined the actor Sivakarthikeyan performance, calling the acting phenomenal as the movie progresses.
