Nagarvalam, though, ends up being such an over-long bus journey — you would rather hop off the bus and take an autorickshaw than sit through all its stops."{{Cite news|url = https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/reviews/nagarvalam-vexed-in-the-city/article18185504.ece|title = Nagarvalam: Vexed in the city|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 21 April 2017|last1 = Anantharam|first1 = Chitra Deepa|access-date = 13 May 2020|archive-date = 12 November 2020|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201112023542/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/reviews/nagarvalam-vexed-in-the-city/article18185504.ece|url-status = live}} The Times of India wrote "The film needed more such tense moments than ones like the forced drama that we get at the interval point."{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/nagarvalam/movie-review/58311122.cms|title = Nagarvalam Movie Review {2.5/5}: Critic Review of Nagarvalam by Times of India}}
