Reception
A critic of Dina Thanthi wrote that director Ramesh Palanivel has written the incident that happened in reality with the screen language of the cinema and in the second half, with an unexpected twist, he has made the fans look back. Ananda Vikatan critic gave a mixed review. Aswin Devan of Cinema Express rated two stars out of five and stated that "A shining aspect of Demon is undoubtedly Sachin's performance, which is head and shoulders above the majority of the cast, who deliver subpar performances." Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave two stars out of five and stated that " The technical aspects of the film are average, perhaps due to budget constraints."
