Malathi Rangarajan of [[The Hindu]] said "In the area of dialogue, he (Ranjith) scores. As a hero he fills the bill. It is in the other departments that he is found wanting".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2003/09/26/stories/2003092601340201.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031205214509/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2003/09/26/stories/2003092601340201.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2003-12-05|title=Bheeshmar|author=Malathi Rangarajan|date=2003-09-26|work=[[The Hindu]]|accessdate=2016-12-02}}</ref> Sify wrote : " Ranjith has perpetuated so many stereotypes in this flick [...] The fatal flaw in the film is the screenplay, which is screeching and at times tries to be a third rate tearjerker" and said : "the censors have butchered the film and in most of the scenes dialogue cuts make the film jarring".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/bheeshmar-review-tamil-pclvsXfiahiih.html|title=Review : Bheeshmar|publisher=[[Sify]]|date=2003-09-24|accessdate=2016-12-02}}</ref> Reviewer Balaji Balasubramaniam said "It is a credible first effort and credit goes to Ranjith for not resorting to unnecessary elements like romance or a comedy track to try to make the movie more entertaining. But ultimately, the movie turns out to be too predictable and violent to make an impression" and stated : "Ranjith the actor scores the most points when compared to the other responsibilities he has taken on".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbthots.com/reviews/2003/bheeshmar.html|title=Bheeshmar&nbsp;- Balaji's Thots|publisher=bbthots.com|accessdate=2016-12-02}}</ref> Entertainment portal Bizhat.com gave the film a negative review : "The honest police - goondas story in nothing new to Tamil audience. Having chosen this subject Ranjith could have taken more care in the narration. The screenplay lacks consistency".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.bizhat.com/review_bhishmar.php|title=BizHat.com&nbsp;-Bhishmar Review|publisher=movies.bizhat.com|accessdate=2016-12-02}}{{Dead link|date=May 2021 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
