== Critical reception ==
''Rediff'' wrote, "Director Ramesh may have failed to capitalise on an intelligent plot but Vil Ambu is an engaging thriller, well worth a watch."<ref>http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/review-vil-ambu-is-worth-a-watch/20160214.htm</ref> ''Behindwoods'' wrote "Director Ramesh Subramaniam has narrated an emotional story that doesn't lose the direction at any point. Also, the only problem in the story is its transparency, it becomes a challenge for the storyteller to retain the connection developed with the audience in the first half."<ref>http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/vil-ambu/vil-ambu-review.html</ref>
