Shivajinagara (film)

The Times of India scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "While Vijay, who dons the angry young man’s hat, is a thrill to watch, Parul Yadav sizzles on screen and does justice to her romantic role. M Selvam’s camerawork is laudable."[3] Shyam Prasad S of Bangalore Mirror scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Vijay and others mouth it nearly a dozen times thereby making sure no one in the audience forgets it. While Vijay goes about killing hundreds, the baddies manage to kill only one police officer and a child in the entire film. There is a death (cause unknown) and also a suicide in Shivajinagara."[4] Sify wrote "Music by Jassie Gift is hummable. Two songs Rangeela and Aase o Aase have become chartbusters. On the whole, the movie is entertaining, particularly for those loving action sequences."[5] A Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express wrote "Shivajinagara is likely to join movies like Majestic, Kalasipalya and countless other experiments with mafia and morals. If you are game to settle for bloodshed and brutal killing, watch Vijay in this electrifying action sequences."[6] B S Srivani of Deccan Herald wrote "Shivajinagara can be hailed for one not-so-obvious thing: Fruits and vegetables avoid getting caught in violence of any kind in the whole film. Where is the need when there are more than 320 humans available for carving, slicing, chopping, mincing, etc? Vijay fans won’t be disappointed for sure."[7]
