Reception
''Behindwoods'' wrote "There is nothing in the film that makes it something unique to Madurai. Overall, you can say that Sooriyanagaram is a haphazard attempt at making a commercial movie." ''Indiaglitz'' wrote "On the whole, there is not much to write home about as far as 'Sooriya Nagaram' is concerned."
''The Hindu'' wrote "The story and the screenplay are to be largely blamed for the film's failure to strike a chord with the audience. The whole plot is stretched to such an extent that by the time the film ends, one feels drained and exhausted."
