Reception[edit]
Paresh C Palicha from Rediff , saying that "Dileep. With Chess, he has brought in a seriousness to his brand of filmmaking, the only grouse being that there should been a tighter script to support him. Bhavana, as the love interest, has some significance in the beginning, but it is totally lost by the end of the film. Salim Kumar and Harisree Asokan handle the comic department proficiently. Ashish Vidyarthi, Vijayraghavan, Bheeman Raghu and Babu Raj play typical villains without too much of a fuss"[4] Sify.com wrote that "It is an out and out Dileep film. He is there in almost all frames and makes the film work. He has been successful in shedding his comedy image and tries a serious revenge drama. So if you are game to watch a film that?s different from the usual Dileep entertainers, try out Chess. It is a deep, dark tale of revenge, with a unique ending" [5] A critic from The Hindu said that "Rajbabu, director, has presented a thriller with no suspense. All the moves made by the hero are predictable".[6]
