Reception

Sify wrote "Saran's Vattaram is an engaging action packed masaala entertainer which moves at rapid pace. Director Saran has spiffily shot and stylishly packaged the film with a milieu that is new to Kollywood - Gun running trade". The film's performance at the box office was impacted by the sudden release of delayed films including Varalaru and Vallavan.
