Critical reception
Sify said, "Rajadhi Raja is a mimicry of some tasteless masala flicks, which are seriously outdated. This one has perhaps been aimed at the hardcore fans of the superstar."[8] IndiaGlitz gave six out of ten and said "Rajadhiraja is an good Thriller" and stated "In the final analysis, 'Rajadhiraja' doesn't offer any freshness in narratives. But it can be a fine for an one-time watch, if you are not in theatres with any big expectations."[9] Paresh C Palicha of Rediff gave two stars out of five with a caption "Rajadhi Raja fails to impress" and wrote "Rajadhi Raja proves to be a lacklustre Onam release"[10] Unni R Nair of Kerala9 gave two out of five and stated "Just about good entertainment watchable if you know what to expect..."[11] Deepa Soman of The Times of India gave 3.5 out of 5 and said "Rajadhiraja is a winsome film with enough moments to entertain you this Onam season."[12]
