After watching the film, one netizen wrote, "Viduthalai 2 is a VetriMaaran masterpiece. A gripping tale of bravery and revolution,masterfully continuing the raw intensity of its predecessor. Directed with precision, it delves deeper into the human cost of freedom and the clash between oppression and resistance."

"#Viduthalai Part 2 will be a BLAST in theatres. Opening Scene, Interval, Pre-Climax and Climax, especially sound designs and BGM everything will work for Sure. 1st Half - Superb Story Telling. 2nd Half is Pure Lit. BLOCKBUSTER LOADED", wrote another netizen.

However, there were a negative reviews as well. One of them read, "Viduthalai Part 2 is a weakly written & directed work that’s overlong & mostly uses montage-like storytelling. Functions more as a politics class than a narrative film. One of the blandest films of the year. A colossal waste of talent, time & resources."
