Reception
A critic of The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Pramodh Sundar's ambitious dystopian thriller, Kaliyugam, is a film that aims for the sky but abruptly crashes along the way.[...] Kaliyugam 2064 falls under a trap of being a film driven largely by its vision, as the makers falter in pulling off that vision with finesse."[16] Anusha Sundar of OTT Play gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Kaliyugam is ambitious and had high potential. But when it leaves many of its threads incomplete, the film gets a tad bit stretchy and unexplored. [...] Even with Kishore and Shraddha giving their best, Kaliyugam could have been far better if could have given more thought on paper."[17]
