Critical reception
The film opened to negative reviews from critics after its theatrical release on 29 June 2011. A reviewer from Behindwoods.com noted "Udhayan is predictable and has nothing extraordinary to offer."[6] A critic from The New Indian Express noted "with a story-line that is oft-repeated and predictable, it's a passable entertainer".[7] The film did not perform well at the box office.[8]
