Reception[edit]
The film was released on 7 April 2023 in Tamilnadu. A critic from Dina Thanthi wrote that "The presence of real bike race players adds strength to the story."[6] Jayabhuvaneshwari B, a critic of Cinema Express stated that "Another plus point of the film is that it does not promote illegal street racing in any way." and gave 2.5 stars out of 5.[7] Logesh Balachandran, a critic from Times of India gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and noted that "The technical aspects complement the story well, delivering a neat film. Racer does manage to finish decently, but isn't powerful enough to leave a lasting impact on the audience."[8] Manigandan KR of South First gave the movie a 2.5 of 5 star rating and stated that "Two factors play a significant role in ensuring this. First is the narration. The director presents the background of the story as a first-person account and that makes it easier for audiences to relate to the story."[9] A Maalai Malar critic gave it a 3 out of 5 star rating.[10]
