Reception

Anna Mathews of The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "With a simplistic narrative and a lead character, who is too ironic an ‘angry young man’ to gain our sympathy, the film falters". [6] Vivek Santhosh of The New Indian Express gave it 1.5/5 stars and wrote, "Despite its worthy themes of self-determination and migration, UKOK is held back by tired writing and an inconsistent narrative focus". [7] Princy Alexander of Onmanorama wrote, "The music and songs by Rajesh Murugesan worked well for the movie, which serves a hard-hitting message with some heart." [8]
