Reception

A critic from Cinema Express wrote that "The biggest takeaway of Teenz, perhaps, is the 13 teenagers. They are sincere in their performance and manage to keep us hooked with their innocent charm". [1] A critic from The Times of India rated the film two out of five stars and stated that " As a film with teenagers as protagonists, the film tries to mellow things down, but in an instant switches gears to go full throttle.". [2] Cinema Vikatan critic wrote that " New initiatives are to be appreciated......t is a disappointment that this 'teens', which is made up of teenage boys as an adventure trip, ends up being a boring trip!"
