Reception

A critic of Maalai Malar gave 2.5/5 stars, praising the performances and the suspense till the climax, but criticized the logic mistakes and background score.^[6] Abhinav Subramanian of Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Seesaw simply doesn’t deliver the thrills it promises. It’s a forgettable entry in a crowded genre, unlikely to leave a lasting impression. A swing and a miss."^[7]
