Reception

[edit]

Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff wrote, "It might not be a great movie, or even a good one, but Virudhagiri was made for only one purpose: To be a political vehicle for Vijaykanth. And it serves that purpose admirably".[4] The New Indian Express wrote, " Vijayakant has bounced back with a vengeance. With the script racy and fast paced, and going full throttle on an unabashed image-boosting exercise, he has projected himself in the most flattering way possible. It should be an ideal treat for the Captain fans!".[5] Sify viewed the film as a propaganda criticising the incumbent Tamil Nadu government run by the DMK.[6]
