Reception
Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Where Others loses steam is in its inability to generate real grip despite having the pieces in place. The investigation unfolds in a straight line, revealing clues at regular intervals, but it never builds the kind of mounting dread that makes thrillers compulsive. [...] The film works best when you focus on where it's going rather than how it gets there."[8]
Avinash Ramachandran of Cinema Express gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Apart from focus and finesse, Others also needed a fair share of restraint because it is so all over the place that it takes away even the slightest of goodwill the film generated till the final act."[9] Maalai Malar gave 3/5 stars[10] and Dinamalar gave 2.75/5 stars.[11] The film was also reviewed by Vikatan[12] and Hindu Tamil Thisai.[13]
