The film is widely considered a remake of the 2013 Telugu movie Bhagavanth Kesari, with significant alterations made to suit Vijay's political narrative. Despite its political messaging and 'mass-y' elements designed for fans, the film is criticised for its weak story, underdeveloped characters, and wasted talent.

The film does test your patience at times, but Rajini papers over those moments with his trademark charm, witty dialogues, and not a bit of help from his gang of thieves.
