Critical reception

The film received mixed reviews.[7]

• Indiaglitz wrote:"Jannal Oram' is an interesting journey, which turns a thriller in the second half. Stopping by to take note of most of the small emotions and gestures we miss in our everyday rush, the film is an interesting tale of a humble small town".[8]
• Behindwoods wrote:"Palaniappan takes his own time to begin the actual film just before the interval and it is the post-interval block where all the drama happens and keeps you engaged fairly. The climax is also stretched more than necessary and when the suspense gets lengthened, it actually loses its purpose".[9]
• Times of India wrote:"Overall, the film is competently put together and somewhat interesting but you cannot escape a lingering feeling that it should have been a little ambitious and much better".[10]
• Sify wrote:"The major problem with Jannal Oram a scene-by-scene remake of the original is the over-the top performances by lead actors, especially Parthipan. The director should have known that the likes of Parthipan and Prakashraj are past their sell-by dates and can only add to unwanted irritations and nuisances. A very similar irritating Sathyaraj seems to have realised it about himself and has stopped irritating audiences".[11]

Box office

The film took average opening and grossed Rs. 4.50 crore in first week.[12]
