However, Thiru gets caught by Ling and he jumps off a cliff and spits at Ling in a bid to escape. Venba tries to escape, but is caught and sent to Ling, which is later revealed to Thiru by the police officer who shows that the reason behind stealing the shields was to gather evidence against Ling.

Release and reception

The film was released on 27 June 2019, and received mixed reviews. [9] M. Sugandh of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Sindhubaadh isn't as satisfying as Arun Kumar's previous films, but it isn't entirely a letdown either." [10] India Today gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Director SU Arun Kumar's Sidhubaadh could have been a satisfying thriller, but he puts in too many ideas in the film. If only Arun Kumar had done away with a few sub-plots and plugged the logical loopholes, Sindhubaadh would have been a better watch." [11]

Karthik Kumar of Hindustan Times gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Director Arun Kumar, who really impressed with his previous films Pannaiyarum Padminiyum and Sethupathi , struggles to give us a film that's neither wholesomely action-packed nor funny enough to oversee its shortcomings. If not for the lead characters and their performances, Sindhubaadh would've been unimaginably boring." [12] Pradeep Kumar of The Hindu wrote "Sindhubaadh is a one time watch for if you want to catch a normal Vijay Sethupathi, fresh off of his Super Deluxe exploits, on the screen. But it is not a film that will go into your best of Sethupathi collection." [13]
