A Sharadhaa from ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' rated 2.5 out of 5 and stated "The portrayal of Somu’s journey maintains its realistic tone, though the fault lies in stretching the narrative, Initially, the viewers are presented with a clear image of Somu and his struggles with anger issues, and at one point, you don’t want to know more about it, but this gets extensively explored before introducing significant plot twists at the interval."<ref>{{cite news |last=Sharadhaa |first=A. |title='Somu Sound Engineer' movie review: A raging symphony about one man's battle with anger |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2024/Mar/16/somu-sound-engineer-movie-review-a-raging-symphony-about-one-mans-battle-with-anger |access-date=25 March 2024 |work=[[The New Indian Express]] |date=16 March 2024 |language=en}}{{rating|2.4|5}}</ref>
