Reception[edit | edit source]
Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India rated the film 2/5 stars and wrote, "While the story of Kalyaan Dhev’s character has the potential to be a relatable coming-of-age track, it fails to engage mostly due to the actor’s inability to emote. [...] A gripping, subtle, and relatable screenplay is what the film needed and lacked majorly."[3] Giving the same rating, Murali Krishna CH of The New Indian Express wrote, "Vijetha is the kind of film which is completely derailed by its shortcomings due to its stretched plot. It reminds us why we are tired of watching movies with outdated themes over and over again. Although it’s not an awful film, it’s thoroughly boring!"[5] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote, "‘Vijetha’ has a potentially heartwarming story lost in a middling narrative".[1]
