Reception

Narayani M of Cinema Express rated the film 2/5 and wrote, "It is in its final moments that Usurae finally breathes, after a few unique punches to the gut. But with the emotional dissonance, accompanied by a heavy dose of melodrama, become complete misfits to the story". ^[4] A critic from Maalai Malar rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote that Naveen D Gopal has directed the film with a simple love story as its centerpiece, but the last 10 minutes of the film make it difficult for the audience to watch the entire film just to see the unexpected twist. ^[5] A critic from Dinamalar gave the film the same rating and wrote that the film only has life in its climax. ^[6]
