Reception

M. Suganth of The Times of India who gave 2.5 out of 5 stars after reviewing the film stated that "Rather than sending chills, the climax only evokes a cold indifference."^[4] Srivatsan S of The Hindu after reviewing the film stated that "In the opening credits, Vasanthabalan credits a few people for their conversations. What a wonderful gesture I thought. Perhaps there is a downside too; you shouldn’t always go by hearsay."^[5]

Sudhir Srinivasan of Cinema Express gave 2 out of 5 stars stating that "The real jail, when you are exposed to such attempts at humour in a film that’s supposed to celebrate equality and empathy, is the movie theatre."^[6] Ashameera Aiyappan of Firstpost who gave 2.5 out of 5 stated after reviewing the film that "In an interview about Sarpatta Parambarai, director Pa Ranjith speaks about how his objective was to show how perishable progress is for people from vulnerable communities. They do not have space for mistakes or impulse; one minor misstep and the modest progress they had made can all come crashing down. Jail tries to explore this emotional landmine as well. In its writing, we see the frameworks of a strong emotional drama. But it never rises above that."^[7]
