Reception
The film opened to mixed reviews from critics. Hemanth Kumar of Firstpost wrote "Cinema Veeran leaves you choked with emotion and it also makes a strong case for providing better facilities to stuntmen, who fiddle with danger on a daily basis". Behindwoods wrote "The documentary will definitely leave you with a significant impact. It might even make you feel guilty of not recognizing their effort, even for a second. Probably the industry and the society might look at them differently one day and give them the credit and reward they truly deserve."{{Cite web|date=2017-06-22|title=Aishwarya R Dhanush's Cinema Veeran documentary review|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-16/aishwarya-r-dhanushs-cinema-veeran-documentary-review.html|access-date=2021-07-18|website=Behindwoods}}
