Release and reception

The film was released on 27 June 2019. 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." [7] 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." [8]

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." [9] 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." [10]
