Critic consensus
Critical reception for Thirudan Police is mixed, leaning mildly positive. Several critics acknowledged it as a commendable debut directorial effort by Caarthick Raju and found it to be a passable entertainer with emotional and comedic elements. However, reviewers flagged lapses in attention to detail and an underdeveloped tonal balance between thriller and comedy, with one critic dismissing the film's premise almost entirely. The consensus points to a watchable but flawed first feature that falls short of its potential.

The movie is a clean time pass without much fuss; however there are some elements that could have worked better if more attention to detail was given.

For a debut directorial venture, Caarthick Raju's Thirudan Police is a commendable end product that manages to prop itself up as an entertaining thriller with a smidgen of comedy mixed in.

If one had to appreciate something about this film, it would be the director's ability to have sold this story to the producer. Hats off to you. You must be a very good narrator.

As you walk out, you can't but wonder if the director, after noting all the laughter at the end, rues his decision not to have made a full-fledged comedy.
