One user wrote: “Good toned-down subtle action drama. The intensity was maintained throughout. However, the runtime in the end felt a bit stretched. Could have been trimmed for a more gripping experience.”

Another review said: “Vikram in a mass avatar after a long time! Chemistry with Dushara Vijayan is superb, especially in the interval block. Director Arun Kumar has successfully brought back Vikram’s Dhool days. His combination scenes with SJ Suryah are a blast!”

A mixed review mentioned: “Rating: 2.5/5 – Watchable. The first half was decent but slow, while the flashback in the second half dragged a bit. Vikram’s entry scene was impressive, and the interval block was unique. GVM’s BGM was outstanding. Overall, it’s a one-time watch.”
With a promising start, Veera Dheera Sooran will be closely watched for its weekend box office growth.
