Reception

[edit]

Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "The film's one saving grace, perhaps, is its unwavering commitment to its own absurdity. It never pumps the brakes, hurtling towards its ridiculous conclusion with a kind of admirable, if misguided, confidence. It's a total train wreck, but you can't look away. Red Flower isn't a great movie, but you certainly can't accuse it of being dull."[9] Maalai Malar gave 1.5/5 stars by criticizing the film for its poor screenplay, illogical sequences, and the poor performace of the lead actor, Vignesh.[10] The film was also reviewed by Dina Thanthi.[11]
