Release and reception

A critic of Dinamalar rated the film with 2 out of 5 stars.[7] A critic of Maalai Malar gave 1.5 out of 5 stars and criticised the film for its typical story and suggested the need for a better screenplay.[8] Akshay Kumar of Cinema Express gave 1 out of 5 stars and wrote "What makes Karuppu Pulsar unforgivable is its token messaging, which is a gross underestimation of the audience's intellectual capability. The film, with no redeemable qualities, can just be proud of its crisp runtime, and nothing else".[9]
The film was also reviewed by Dina Thanthi.[10]
