Overall, the collection pace for the Ajith starrer is decent and steady even though the reviews for the film are mediocre. ETimes gave only 2.5 stars out of 5 for the movie and our review reads, “Vidaamuyarchi is not the usual Ajith outing and marks a departure from his typical mass masala films with an entry song and lengthy dialogues. While there are two ways to see this, the movie might be disappointing for Ajith fans expecting mass moments. Ajith wields a white flag from the beginning and stays away from putting up a fight until heavily provoked. For an action thriller, he gets beaten up more than he can beat up. The action sequences are ordinary and natural, and don’t suit the tone of the film. Vidaamuyarchi lacks the stand-out moment fans eagerly look forward to, thus failing to deliver an intended impact. Ajith is stoic as a man who is caught unaware of why Kayal is divorcing him. Throughout the film, he puts up a class act as the film focuses on content over style. Trisha appears prominently in the first half, but has very little to do in the second as she goes missing. Arjun and Regina’s roles required a little more depth. While adapting from the core of Breakdown, the filmmaker fails to provide details about why Arjun and Regina are the way they are.”
