Reception

[edit]

Bharat Kumar of News Today said "the movie has moments that would appeal to family audience. But at some places it is trying to be more a melodrama laying thrust on family, bonding and emotions."[4] ABP Live wrote, "Raajavamsam is an exhausting family drama that is not rooted in reality."[5] Avinash Ramachandran of Cinema Express gave a rating of 1.5 out on 5 and wrote, "Raajavamsam prefers sticking to a tried and tested template that just ends up being tired and wasted."[6] Suganth of The Times of India gave a rating of 1 out on 5 and wrote, "The film qualifies as an absolute cringefest with zero redeeming qualities."[7]
