Home media

Reception

Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "The genre shifts from action to romcom and romcom to action every ten minutes. The transition is not organic, and the sequences are bit forced."[26] 123telugu gave 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Takkar is a forgettable outing that barely has any engaging moments. The weak plot and the dull narrative tests the patience levels big time."[27] Janani K of India Today gave 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Takkar is a film that should have come out in the 2000s. Director Karthik G Krish’s story is so redundant that you could guess every single plot twist miles ahead of its arrival."[28]

Kirubhakar Purushothaman of The Indian Express rated 1 out of 5 stars and wrote "After a lot of contrivances and bad writing, we find the hero and heroine eloping in a car with gangsters on their tails".[29] A critic from Maalai Malar gave 2.75 out of 5 stars and wrote that Director Karthik. G. Krish has moved the film by focusing on what kind of things money does in life. The critic said cast of the film is strong, but a bit more attention could have been paid to the screenplay, and there seems to be a slight sag in some places.[30] Dinamalar gave 2.25 out of 5 stars and criticised the film.[31]
