===Critical response===
Tamma Moksha of [[The Hindu]] wrote that "I would rather take a muscular protagonist without morals — indulging in action sequences and physically hurting rapists — than watch another minute of a stingy boy-next-door who seems to draw his heroism by solely associating with a brutalised woman and abandoning his values thereafter".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2 June 2023 |title= ‘Ahimsa’ movie review: Abhiram Daggubati exacerbates a harrowing crime-thriller |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/ahimsa-movie-review-abhiram-daggubati-exacerbates-a-harrowing-crime-thriller/article66923756.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230609105635/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/ahimsa-movie-review-abhiram-daggubati-exacerbates-a-harrowing-crime-thriller/article66923756.ece |archive-date=9 August 2023 |access-date=9 August 2023 |website= [[The Hindu]]|language=en
