Reception
A critic of Dinamalar rated the film with 3/5 stars.[6] Sreejith Mullappilly of Cinema Express gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "While the film offers its messages with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, its bluntness keeps it from becoming problematic at any point. Somewhere in Gevi, there is a subtle suggestion that the community is partly to blame for their own status quo, but Tamil Dhayalan’s sensitive direction keeps it in safe territory."[7]
