Critical response
The Road recieved Postive reviews from the critics with praising trisha's performance.
M. Suganth from The Times of India rated the film 2+1⁄2 out of 5 and wrote that "The investigation part largely works, and the director manages to keep the mystery under wraps until the reveal, but the film turns pretty generic once we get the identity of the mastermind behind the chilling crimes".[13] Bhuvanesh Chander of The Hindu wrote, "For Trisha, who once again shows that she deserves a script worth her stardom and heart, The Road offers nothing new and her poor run with solo lead films continues".[14]
