Critical reception

The New Indian Express wrote that "On the positive side, a sedentary first-half notwithstanding, 'Nil...'gathers steam in the latter, and is watchable, at least in parts. Selvaganesh's music score is pleasant on the ears". [2] Behindwoods gave the film a rating of one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "On the whole, Nil Gavani Sellathey is not a badly crafted thriller. It does excite in patches, but is not able to sustain it for long enough intervals to completely grip you". [3]
