== Reception ==
''Times of India'' wrote "Having set up a predictable, but decent premise in the beginning, the screenplay goes downhill in the second half".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/jada/movie-review/72396331.cms|title=Jada Movie Review: Kathir does justice to his role while Yogi Babu's one-liners do not entertain|via=timesofindia.indiatimes.com}}</ref> ''Sify'' wrote "Tamil cinema has come up with yet another half-baked sports film Jada. Debutant filmmaker Kumaran has delivered a disappointing film with poorly written characters, shoddy screenplay and diametrically two opposite halves. While the first half revolves around 7s football, the director introduces horror elements in the second half and unfortunately both the genres are not justified".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/jada-review-a-half-baked-sports-drama-review-tamil-tmgq3Xidiehjf.html|title=Jada review: A half baked sports drama|website=Sify}}</ref> ''Firstpost'' wrote "Jada is a confused mess that lacks a proper script and narration and is neither a sports drama nor a horror thriller and falls between two stools".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/jada-movie-review-kathirs-latest-film-is-a-confused-mess-thats-neither-a-sports-drama-nor-a-horror-thriller-7751901.html|title=Jada movie review: Kathir's latest film is a confused mess that's neither a sports drama nor a horror thriller- Entertainment News, Firstpost|date=7 December 2019|website=Firstpost}}</ref> ''Indian Express'' wrote "what must have been a high-stakes emotional drama ends up as a dull genre-bender, because of the uninspired writing".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2019/dec/07/jada-movie-review-a-generic-supernatural-revenge-drama-masquerading-as-a-sports-film-2072517.html|title='Jada' movie review: A generic, supernatural revenge-drama masquerading as a sports film|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> [[Baradwaj Rangan]] of Film Companion South wrote "Whether pure genre or a mix, what matters is the writing.
