Kanan wrote, "At the heart of Pulivaal...is the grim truth that we cannot control life, and that the things do can sometimes spiral into disastrous consequences for innocents. But the uninspired narrative doesn't do this theme justice. The characters... are strictly one-dimensional, the staging is flat, and the events are preposterous".[6] Sify wrote, "somehow the wafer thin story of Puli Vaal and its making leaves you cold and detached. Everything looks too manipulative, and look and feel does not have a local nativity. The ending is also a tame affair".[7] Behindwoods gave it 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "director Marimuthu allows the plot play out like a game with lifeless thrills, and whenever he does manage to build suspense he breaks it down with narratives that are tangential to the story".[8] Indiaglitz gave it 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "But for a few minor glitches...Pulivaal is "a highly entertaining movie".[9] Cinemalead's Siddarth Srinivas loathed the film, rating it 1.5 stars on 5.[10] Baradwaj Rangan of the Hindu wrote "At the heart of Pulivaal, adapted from the Malayalam film Chaappa Kurishu, is the grim truth that we cannot control life, and that the things we do can sometimes spiral into disastrous consequences for innocents."[11]
