Reception

Critical response

The Times of India wrote "Director Shashank, known for making movies with social themes, tries his hand at action. Though it’s a good attempt, the director is better off sticking romantic movies." [2] Rediff wrote "Shashank had promised a stylish action flick and with Vijay at the helm, that was what was expected, but the film comes as a disappointment". [3] Bangalore Mirror termed it as "just another underworld film — without substance." [4] The New Indian Express wrote "Jarasandha is worth watching if you are fond of action-oriented films". [5]
