Reception

Behindwoods wrote "Sundar has managed to pack a punch with the narrative style of the movie and the climax tugs at your heart. Besides, he has also diversified from his style of movie making to take up a serious subject of friendship and betrayal. On the whole, but for a few glitches here and there, Nagaram is not bad a watch."[5] Sify wrote "It is engrossing and moves like a thriller, with rapid twists and turns leading to a stunning climax".[6] Nowrunning wrote "Despite such flaws "Nagaram" works because of its racy script and neat execution."[7]
