Reception

Perspective
Avinash Ramachandran of Cinema Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote "With competent artillery and just enough ammunition, Revolver Rita definitely fires on all cylinders, but only a handful come even close to the target, and one just wishes that the weapon was held with a firmer grip simply because it ends up as a chaotic misfire."[25] The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "The blackness of the premise never fully loads, the comedy struggles to find its rhythm, the plotting feels predictable, and the cast can’t muster enough spark to set off anything memorable."[26] Latha Srinivasan of NDTV gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Revolver Rita was a good shot for director JK Chandru to showcase his talent but the movie's uneven screenplay backfires for him unfortunately."[27]
Janani K of India Today gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Revolver Rita stands out as a missed opportunity from director JK Chandru. The primary criticisms are its thin plot, unoriginal narrative choices, and reliance on outdated storytelling ideas, which prevent the film from being enjoyable or memorable."[28] Anusha Sundar of OTT Play gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Revolver Rita is faltered attempt at making a crime comedy film, for neither of the elements are fully utilised in the writing. The comedy is exaggerated by questionable, the characters lack any impressionable interest, and with forgettable, template story, Revolver Rita misfires big time."[29] Bhuvanesh Chandar of The Hindu wrote "Keerthy Suresh’s dreary dark comedy disguises a predictable story as clever writing, and ends up as soulless as the corpse it hauls around."[30]
