Reception[edit]

Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India rated the film 3/5 and he termed it "a powerful story with a gut-wrenching ending".^[5] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu in a more mixed review opined that overdoing the mainstream indulgences pulled the film down. "Sridevi Soda Center is the kind of film that happens when art-house and mainstream meet midway but it is not seamless. There are a few memorable moments and hard-hitting segments, but the film doesn’t sweep you off your feet," she added.^[6]

A reviewer from Deccan Chronicle rated the film 2.5 stars of 5 and called it "partly engaging." While appreciating the performances of Babu of Anandhi individually, they wrote that the love and chemistry between them was weak.^[7] Bhuvanesh Chandar of Cinema Express criticized the film for its "predictable, hardly engaging screenplay." Chandar was disappointed because the film showed "a lot of promise and scope" that went underutilised.^[8]
