Reviews
Viduthalai Part 2 received mixed feedback. Times Now (3.5/5) praised its bold storytelling and performances but mentioned pacing and narrative problems. The Hindu appreciated its fine political themes but added that it lacked the emotional fire of the first part. While some appreciated its tight storytelling, others criticized the film's preachiness and inconsistency. Despite these flaws, the film offers a thought-provoking conclusion to the story.
