Reviewing the film, R. G.

He added, "It is an outstanding effort that needs appreciation and applause."[4] The reviewer of Viggy.com felt the film's USPs were "its gripped narration, simplistic presentation" and "the style of picturising a dynamic story in an entertaining way". He concluded praising the performance of all the lead characters in the film.[5] Sify.com commended the performance of the cast and added, "The camera work of Ratnavelu on the proceedings of 20 days of life of Shivarasan & gang is very effectively shown on screen, while Sandeep Chowta?s background score is awesome."[6] The reviewer of Nowrunning.com called it a "perfect ten film" and wrote, ""Cyanide" is fantastically packaged with the finest technical values and some great acting performances."[7] Indiaglitz.com wrote, "Thara the national award winning actress as timid and chicken hearted Mridula has given a splendid performance.
