Reception
Narayani M of Cinema Express rated the film 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Just like how Bala crashes into a random wedding after drinking like a fish, Petta Rap too takes illogical detours that bring no value to the story."[15] Thinkal Menon of The Times of India rated 2/5 stars and wrote "Petta Rap leaves you wondering how its makers depended only on Prabhu Deva's dance and reference to Kaadhalan to pull off a mediocre story and unengaging screenplay."[16]
