Reception

A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Sathyaraj and Rao Ramesh, who steals the show yet again, are the film’s saving grace".^[3] Pranitha Jonnalagedda of The Times of India said that "The film is predictable at places and endearing at times. But on the whole, it feels like watching paint dry. Here’s a film which has its heart in the right place but the beats aren’t quite right".^[4] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com opined that "On a whole, Hyper is a film made for the masses".^[1]
