Karthik Kumar of Hindustan Times gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Director Arun Kumar, who really impressed with his previous films Pannaiyarum Padminiyum and Sethupathi, struggles to give us a film that's neither wholesomely action-packed nor funny enough to oversee its shortcomings. If not for the lead characters and their performances, Sindhubaadh would've been unimaginably boring." Pradeep Kumar of The Hindu wrote " Sindhubaadh is a one time watch for if you want to catch a normal Vijay Sethupathi, fresh off of his Super Deluxe exploits, on the screen. But it is not a film that will go into your best of Sethupathi collection."
