Reception
Sify wrote "On the whole the film is ham-fisted and does not deliver the punch required from a mass masala." Behindwoods wrote "Aatta Nayagan might not be the best time pass entertainer you will stumble upon in movies but if you want to give the quintessential masala potboiler a chance once again, performed by an up and coming actor for once as opposed to the established ones, you might like the movie."
