Reception

[edit]

Sify wrote "On the whole Veerappu, is a clean family entertainer with a nice message, worth a look."[4] Behindwoods wrote "Debutant director Badri, has nothing new to offer for the paying public and the screenplay runs in a set predictable path. Some twists and turns in the storyline could have helped in a big way."[5] Rediff wrote "The yarn has been 'commercially treated' to suit Tamil sensibilities one would be led to believe. Save for the fast paced moments towards the climax and the punctuations of stunt scenes, the result is slow and too pat."[6] Anamika of Kalki praised the acting of Sundar and Prakashraj, Kasi Viswanathan's editing and Badri's dialogues but panned Imman's songs and Selvaraj's cinematography and climax looking forced.[7] Chennai Online wrote "It's an unpretentious, fairly engaging entertainer, with a racy narrative style and not many lagging moments".[8]
