A critic from Sify said that "The major drawback of Varsham is the second half, which has an overdose of violence and narration is marred by two dream songs. The director Shobhan loses grip on the story after the fast paced first half. Still Varsham is worth a look". Jeevi of Idlebrain.com opined that "It's a love story with good technical values. You may definitely watch this film".
