==Critical reception==
''Silverscreen'' noted that "Thematically similar to Kaththi, this film will go down as another laudable attempt at taking on social corruption, and trying to empower the downtrodden".<ref>http://silverscreen.in/tamil/reviews/49-o-review-good-but-not-great/</ref> ''Behindwoods'' rated it 2.25 out of 5 and noted that "The film doesn't offer anything unique within this genre but when Gounder is the face of such political attacks and mild preaching, it can get enjoyable!"<ref>http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/49-o/49-o-review.html</ref> ''New Indian Express'' stated that "The film is a fairly delightful take on the avariciousness of humans, the unscrupulousness of corporates and politicians, and the gullibility of the downtrodden, who are easily taken for a ride by unscrupulous elements. 49-0 could definitely have done with some polish and finesse. But substance over form is far better than gloss and style over a very weak content".<ref>http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/Sans-Big-Cast-Goundamani-Ferries-Crew-49-O-to-Shore/2015/09/19/article3035078.ece</ref> ''Times of India'' rated 2 out of 5 and wrote "In the end, 49-O ends up as ineffective as the rule it criticizes — you can admire the intention and you can really take it seriously".<ref>http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/49-O/movie-review/49033351.cms</ref>
