Reception

Lokesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave the film's rating 3 out of 5 stars and stated that "Overall, Kuruthi Aattam is a decent action entertainer which could have done really well with better writing in the second half."[22] Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu after reviewing the film stated that "With Kuruthi Aattam, the film’s director Sri Ganesh shows another glimpse into that promise, but packs in too many elements to keep us glued to the screen."[23] Sudhir Srinivasan of Cinema Express gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, stating that "Kuruthi Attam is a bunch of angry, yelling men, running at each other brandishing aruvaas.[24] Moviecrow gave the film’s rating 2.5 out of 5, stating that "Kuruthi Aattam is definitely a bit disappointing, to put it mildly. Otherwise, it is a generic film that remains watchable but one that becomes tiring by the end."[25] Kirubhakar Purushothaman of The Indian Express gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and stated "Two things work majorly in Kuruthi Aattam. One is the brilliantly-written character of Arivu, backed by a commendable performance by Prakash Raghavan. He instantly makes you hate the character, and that makes us look forward to him getting his due. Secondly, the bromance between Sakthivel and Muthu is heartwarming."[26] Thinkal Menon of OTT Play rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote that "As the title suggests, Kuruthi Aattam involves numerous murders, complicated assassination plans, aggressive rivalry and revenge-seeking men and women. The director manages to hold the attention of the viewers to a decent extent despite a few flaws."[27]
