Reception

Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India wrote that "IIT Krishnamurthy is a film that will not put you to sleep and qualifies as an attempt that is appreciable. To know if an IITian is truly brainier than the most experienced cop is something you need to watch."[6]

Cinema Express wrote that "With patchy narration, which lacks fluidity, and no impacting emotional anchors either, the film reaches a crucial moment when the knots are untied. The reveal is one that entirely depends on chance rather than on acumen of the supposed mastermind — it is also full of flaws. Why was it important to overemphasise that the talented, brilliant Krishnamurthy is from IIT? Couldn’t someone from another institution be just as crafty and clever? Considering the emotional anchor that the film poses to have, wouldn’t something on the lines of ‘Deepam Krishnamurthy’ work better as the title and the story’s emblem, without undermining said emotional connect? The only ray of light is Satya Akkala’s comedy. It's a pity that his excellent one-liners are almost overshadowed by the cloud of dismay that the rest of the film evokes."[7]

Vishal Menon of Film Companion wrote that "What doesn’t help either is the film’s over-reliance on the big ending. It’s like the makers decided to explain everything with one long stretch of dialogue. So if something hadn’t made sense until then, they’re just going to attribute even that to the hero’s genius. There’s no room for errors in Krishnamurthy’s plans and the sequence of things that has to fall right in place for his desired result seems annoyingly implausible. In other places, details about financial fraud and the whole police operation are too simplistic to be taken seriously. "[8]
