Reception
[edit]M. Suganth of The Times of India gave the film 1.5 out of 5 stars stating that "Only a couple of plot developments make us sit up. One involves the interval twist, which plays with the expectations that non-linear narratives have built in us and another about the mystery of the missing diamonds. But for the rest of the time, the film gets us close to a state of stupor, making us wonder if the title is a fair warning to us, audiences."[7] Avinash Ramachandran of Cinema Express gave 3 out of 5 stars and stated that "Now, we just have a handful of names doing the rounds, and if Jai’s recent filmography is anything to go by, then he seems to have become calculative and has bravely taken to this course."[8] Moviecrow rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and stated that "A bunch of regular things makes this action thriller a not-so-thrilling outing. However, Yenni Thuniga is a harmless one-time watch."[9] Chennai Vision gave the film’s rating 3.2 out of 5, stating that "Sam CS makes a mark with his BGM and rest of the technical aspects are good."[10] Thangaraja Palaniappan of News Bricks after reviewing the film stated that "Jai has showcased himself in good action roles more than as a romantic hero."[11] Behindwoods gave the film’s rating 2.25 out of 5 stars, stating that "A heist film with some doses of twists and drama makes it watchable."[12]
