Sattapadi Kutram received critical reception from New Indian Express and nowrunning.com who said it doesn't qualify as a good film.
The New Indian Express wrote that "Appalling and ridiculous, these scenes only generate a lot of unintended humour." Rohit Ramachandran of nowrunning.com gave it 2/5 stars stating that "Realism is Sattapadi Kuttram's least concern. It doesn't qualify as a good film but it manages to hold your interest."
