Reception

A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Sathyaraj and Rao Ramesh, who steals the show yet again, are the film’s saving grace". Pranitha Jonnalagedda of The Times of India said that "The film is predictable at places and endearing at times. But on the whole, it feels like watching paint dry. Here’s a film which has its heart in the right place but the beats aren’t quite right". Jeevi of Idlebrain.com opined that "On a whole, Hyper is a film made for the masses".
