The Times of India gave the film a rating of three-and-half out of five stars and wrote that "The best part about Finals is how Arun succeeds to keep the audience guessing. Just when you think that the film will choose a predictable path, he somehow delightfully veers away".[5] The New Indian Express gave the film a rating of four out of five stars and wrote that "Finals is, without a doubt, the best of all the four Onam releases. After being underwhelmed by the other three, I wanted an experience that’s the equivalent of finding water in the middle of a scorching desert".[3]
