Reception

Paresh C. Palicha of Rediff gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and opined that "The Don is simply a hotchpotch of many action-drama films, clumsily put together".[4] A critic from Webindia123 wrote that "It may be better for Dileep to stop trying to become an action hero".[5] A critic from Indiaglitz stated that "The screenplay of Pallaserry offers nothing new. And with the song which arrives an hour into the proceedings, the tempo slackens".[6] Unni Nair of Nowrunning said that "The Don is not his [Shaji Kailas'] worst effort yet".[7]

Box office

The film was a box office failure.[8][9]
