Reception.
Abhinav Subramanian of "The Times of India" gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote " Rajaputhiran works best as comfort viewing for those nostalgic for simpler storytelling, where villains twirl mustaches and heroes make fatally naive choices. The kind of film that makes you nostalgic for nostalgia itself." Sreejith Mullappilly of "Cinema Express" gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "The dynamics between Prabhu and Vetri's characters and Vetri and Krishnapriya's characters make "Rajaputhiran" an engaging watch for the most part. [...] Ultimately, while these strong performances and character dynamics form the film's core appeal, its narrative missteps keep it from realising its full potential as wholesome entertainment."
