Release
A critic from The Hindu stated that "'Bala' is another of those typical action flicks that flood the cinema scene today".[2] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online opined that "It's yet again a gangster film, the scenes flowing albeit smoothly, but expectantly through clichéd situations giving one a sense of deja vu throughout".[10] Visual Dasan of Kalki criticised the age old story and called the film "boring" while praised the dialogues, background score, and cinematography.[3]
