Reception

Critical response

Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "The Warriorr is a masala-laden commercial pot-boiler that’s meant to be watched over a shared bucket of popcorn." [24] A critic for Pinkvilla rated dthe film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Some films are stuck in a time warp. The Warriorr goes beyond. Every nerve ending and blood vessel of the film is stuck in the past".[25] Latha Srinivasan of Firstpost rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Director Lingusamy's Telugu debut starring Ram Pothineni is a mish-mash of his earlier films. The Warrior loses the battle even before setting foot on the battleground".[26] Balakrishna Ganeshan of The News Minute rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "The story being extremely superficial without any element of reality in it, also makes it a mediocre watch.[27] Janani K of India Today rated the film 1 out of 5 stars and wrote "The Warriorr is a film that has wasted crores of rupees on a story that we saw ages ago. Aadhi does a good job initially, but his role is reduced to a caricature."[28] Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express rated the film 0.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Lingusamy has repeated the same movie that he has been making throughout his career with different actors and costumes, including the 'loosu ponnu' archetype".[29]
