==Critical reception==
''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote "Now having said all these you can only add that Vijayakanth could have gone in for an innovative storyline, far removed from the run-of-the-mill rut".<ref>{{Cite web |date=23 March 2007 |title=A little respite now and then - Sabari |url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2007/03/23/stories/2007032300160200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070602113723/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2007/03/23/stories/2007032300160200.htm |archive-date=2 June 2007 |access-date=13 September 2023 |website=The Hindu}}</ref> Lajjavathi of ''[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]]'' praised Vijayakanth for doing an action film without politics and also praised Suresh for racy screenplay and called Pattukottai Prabhakar's dialogues as sharp but felt if Malavika's portions, unnecessary songs were removed and some of the plots were trimmed, this ''Sabari'' would have been talked about even more.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=லஜ்ஜாவதி |date=1 April 2007 |title=சபரி |url=https://archive.org/details/kalki2007-04-01/page/10/mode/2up |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20240419031251/https://archive.org/details/kalki2007-04-01/page/10/mode/2up |archive-date=19 April 2024 |access-date=18 April 2024 |magazine=Kalki |page=10 |language=ta |via=[[Internet Archive]]}}</ref> ''Chennai Online'' wrote "Whether it's a lawyer, a cop or a doctor he is playing, it doesn't seem to matter much. For it's the same predictable and cliched scenario that Vijaykanth goes through. Which again doesn't speak very highly of the director's effort to present a fare that is refreshing or exciting".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mannath |first=Malini |date=27 March 2007 |title=Sabari |url=http://chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/2007/03sabari.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011071204/http://chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/2007/03sabari.asp |archive-date=11 October 2007 |access-date=17 August 2024 |website=Chennai Online}}</ref> ''[[Sify]]'' wrote "There is plenty of blood and gore, punch lines, flying kicks and songs in exotic foreign locales. But sadly director Suresh has no story to tell and stretches it for nearly three hours. All said and endured, Sabari, tests your patience".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sabari |url=http://sify.com/movies/tamil/review.php?id=14413098&ctid=5&cid=2429 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071212084518/http://sify.com/movies/tamil/review.php?id=14413098&ctid=5&cid=2429 |archive-date=12 December 2007 |access-date=20 October 2024 |website=[[Sify]]}}</ref>
