A critic from ''Nowrunning'' wrote that "Perarasu's ''Samrajyam 2'' is a folly of sorts. For one, it has the gall to pretend to be a sequel to a film that many viewers still hold close to their hearts. And what's more, it does so by cooking up a tale that is unwittingly tedious, narrated in a fashion that is hideously bland".<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.nowrunning.com/movie/11043/malayalam/samrajyam-2-son-of-alexander/5103/review/ | title=Samrajyam 2 Son of Alexander Review | Samrajyam 2 Son of Alexander Malayalam Movie Review by Veeyen | date=6 June 2015 }}</ref> A critic from ''Indiaglitz'' stated that "Its sequel ''Samrajyam 2'' is nothing but a disaster".<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/samrajyam-2-son-of-alexander-review-malayalam-movie-16629 | title=Samrajyam 2 Son of Alexander review.
