The film "hints at redefining superhero genre" by casting older actors in the roles of superheroes, which are usually portrayed by youngsters.[2] According to the director, "There’ll be parallel tracks of comedy which don’t ever entwine with the spine of the film. It’s like an item song—the comedy is an extra thing. You don’t need to understand the story or the film to understand the comedy. This isn’t the case with Super Senior Heroes."[3]

Reception
A critic from Thanthi TV felt that the film's comedy worked well but the film lagged due to its wafer-thin, predictable storyline.[5]
