Reception
Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India opined that "Overall, Vichithiran might appeal an audience that is on the lookout for an engaging emotional thriller as their weekend watch".[14] Vignesh Madhu of Cinema Express stated that "With a lot going for it, especially RK Suresh's performance and the earnestness in storytelling, Visithiran is definitely one of the better remakes to come our way hitting not only the same highs of the original but resorting to similar lows".[15] A critic from Behindwoods said that "Visithiran which is an official remake of the Malayalam superhit stays true to the original thanks largely to the captain of the ship M. Padmakumar".[16] A critic from Maalai Malar Noted that "Through the screenplay, the director has shown how human lives are affected by the industries around medicine. They have made the film in the style of organ theft emotional thriller. He has skillfully worked among the characters.".[17] Critic from Dinamalar gave 2.75 rating out of 5 [18]
