Reception

Hindu Tamil Thisai rated the film 2.5/5 stars, praising the actors to have performed their roles perfectly while criticizing the stumbling screenplay at some places.^[11] Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Peranbum Perungobamum desperately wants to say something profound about caste violence but gets lost in its own convoluted plotting. With fewer narrative detours, it could have delivered its message more powerfully."^[12] Nakkheeran reviewed the film by praising the storyline and the punishments given for caste atrocities, while criticizing its screenplay.^[13]
