Reception
Thinkal Menon of Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "A slick making style and fast-paced editing pattern would have worked wonders for Aindham Vedham which succeeds only partly in making the viewers connect with its characters on an emotional level."[6] Kirubhakar Purushothaman of News 18 gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Instead of being a mythical series that marries myth to science, Aindham Vedham ends up being a self-important work that insists upon itself."[7] Anusha Sundar of OTT Play gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Aidham Vedham can be given a shot to watch, but if it is really binge-worthy is debatable."[8]
Narayani M of The New Indian Express gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Aindham Vedham could have conjured up a tighter screenplay, runtime and a show-don’t-tell set up, to create a solid premise that potentially opens a portal to a succesful [sic] franchise in the future."[9] Janani K of India Today gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Despite its occasional shortcomings, Aindham Vedham emerges as a noteworthy addition to Indian streaming content."[10]
