Reception
[edit]A critic from The Times of India rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "The film doesn't offer anything new. The story lacks new content and freshness compared to the previous editions and is not engaging".[14] Regarding the Telugu-dubbed version, a critic from 123telugu rated the film one-and-three-quarters out of five and wrote that "On the whole, Dandupalayam 4 fails to live up to all its expectations. The same crime scene and violence has been doubled in this part which is hard to digest and does not impress you one bit".[4]
Regarding the Tamil version, a critic from Maalai Malar gave a mixed review.[7] Thinaboomi critic wrote that "but the director has very cleverly incorporated the current scenes with the older scenes".[6]
