Thadhagath Pathi of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 and wrote "Son of India has a short run-time but the film feels stretched despite that. It’s not a theatrical experience everyone is longing for".[12] Pinkvilla gave the film 1.5 out of 5 an wrote "'Son Of India' has been made to feel like an ode to Mohan Babu's illustrious career. Most of the actors, for almost three-fourths of the film, are either unseen from the front, or their faces are relentlessly blurred on the pretext of letting the lead man do mono-action".[13] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu stated "An amateurish narration of an outdated story makes ‘Son of India’ an excruciating watch".[14]
