Velan received largely negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 4.0/10, reflecting a mixed to poor reception. Critics pointed out that while Mugen Rao's screen presence was a positive, the film suffered from a predictable plot and lackluster screenplay. The Times of India commented that “Velan follows a formulaic approach with clichés overshadowing its potential.” Similarly, Cinema Express noted that “despite earnest performances, the narrative fails to engage due to its excessive melodrama.” The film was criticized for not bringing anything new to the action-drama genre, with some reviewers mentioning that the pacing was uneven and the character development minimal. However, some fans appreciated the soundtrack and the rural settings portrayed in the movie. Overall, Velan struggled to make a significant impact critically or commercially.
