Reception
Sify wrote "On the whole Veerappu, is a clean family entertainer with a nice message, worth a look."[3] Behindwoods wrote "Debutant director Badri, has nothing new to offer for the paying public and the screenplay runs in a set predictable path. Some twists and turns in the storyline could have helped in a big way."[4] Rediff wrote "The yarn has been 'commercially treated' to suit Tamil sensibilities one would be led to believe. Save for the fast paced moments towards the climax and the punctuations of stunt scenes, the result is slow and too pat."[5] Thiraipadam wrote "the film, in spite of unimpressive casting, passes muster."[6]
