Critical reception

Indiaglitz wrote "weak screenplay and poor characterization makes Sullan, a big disappointment".^[7] Sify wrote "Ramana?s narrative and script are absurd and his attempt to make Dhanush a superstar material has failed miserably. Sullan is all sound and no fury."^[8] B. Balaji wrote "With such over-the-top situations and graphics-filled stunts, the fight sequences in Sullaan look like they belong in a cartoon!".^[9]
