Critical reception

The New Indian Express gave the film a negative review and stated that "For the audience, Vellore Maavattam offers nothing that they haven't seen before!". Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, " isn't a superhero film. Neither is Muthukumar a super cop. And the significant fact is you understand his angst and empathise with him". Sify wrote, "The film has a predictable story of a honest police officer, which works big time due to Nanda’s immense screen presence and performance".
