Reception
[edit]Critical response
[edit]Sunayana Suresh of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote "All said, Seizer isn't a bad option for people who are looking for a dose of routine commercial drama. If you're a fan of Chiranjeevi Sarja, Ravichandran or Prakash Raj, this might be of interest to you. Go ahead and give it a try".[6] Vijaya Karnataka wrote "Though director Vinay Krishna has promised to make his debut, there is a need to focus more on story and screenplay. Those who like buildup films can watch cinema".[7]
