Critical reception

''Indiaglitz'' wrote, "It's Vijayakanth all the way who with his brainy and brawny ways restores order in the society." ''Behindwoods'' wrote, "All in all, disappointing is too kind a word to use for this kind of a movie. It is hard to imagine what the director, actor and producer had in mind when the movie was made." It summed up, "Sabari: an absolute dud."
