Reception
K. Vijiyan of New Straits Times criticised the film for its abundance of songs, adding, "I have lost count of the numerous movies where one man reigns over a village using violence and there seems to be no law or order. Sadly, [Senthamizh Selvan] is another film in this genre, with nothing much to make it memorable or outstanding".[2] Indolink wrote "Manoj Kumar fails in all three departments -Screenplay, dialogues and direction. Skip it!".[4]
