Reception

Sify rated the film with 3/5 stars, stating that "Kodiyil Oruvan is a mass action entertainer from Vijay Antony on the lines of Pichaikkaran with strong mother sentiment."[11] Suganth of The Times of India gave a rating of 3 out on 5 and wrote, " An uneven masala movie saved by strong amma sentiment."[12] Haricharan Pudipeddi of Hindustan Times wrote, "Director Ananda Krishnan's first big-budget film is a predictable but entertaining political thriller."[13] Srivatsan S of The Hindu stated that, "The Vijay Antony-starrer is loud, mostly boring and has a soft-spoken, kind-hearted hero at the centre, who seemed to have been written not on a white paper, but on tile."[14] Navein Darshan of The New Indian Express wrote, "Kodiyil Oruvan is an unabashed commercial entertainer, and no surprise, the hero wins. Making this format click with the audience is quite tricky."[15] Behindwoods rated the film with 2.5/5 stars, stating that "There are few lacklustre performances that pull down the film's effectiveness. The writing could have been more solid, but despite all this, the film tries to entertain you well throughout. A decent watch for the weekend. Vijay Antony's Kodiyil Oruvan is a watchable commercial drama that is high on emotions and sentiments."[16]

Sequel

A sequel of the film is also being planned.[17]
