Reception

Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "The thing with Surrender is that there's a lack of nuance. Everyone communicates through grunts and threats. [...] We're in a bit of a drought when it comes to great crime-thrillers, and that seems to continue. Everything in Surrender is just so provincial and grimy. [...] The film eventually circles back to its emotional center with Periyasamy, which provides some redemption. At least it's consistently committed to its one-note brutishness." [8] The film was also reviewed by Hindu Tamil Thisai . [9]
