Critics who have watched the Tamil language comedy-drama have shared their reviews online. They have showered praise on Kavin and Redin Kingsley’s well-executed comedy performances and also the climax scene. Another critic pointed out the poor narration in the film, revealing that the characters are shown as “jokers” due to exaggeration. Check detailed reviews of the critics below.
The Hindu: “A delightful old-school energy takes you by surprise as you’re pulled into the world of debutant Sivabalan Muthukumar’s quirky black comedy, Bloody Beggar. It’s a fresh and bizarre attempt, especially for our times, and even the conviction to conceive something of this sort deserves praise. In the end, what’s truly impressive is how Sivabalan’s screenplay juggles serious character arcs and ‘messages’ with such an absurd storyline without letting you feel stark tonal shifts. It all comes home. An offbeat entry in the Diwali roster, Bloody Beggar is rich in entertainment, crafty world-building, and heart.”
Movie Crow: “Lackluster script presented in a polished manner with nice music and promising visuals. Sadly the narration is extremely weak, being overly eccentric, and the characters are treated as jokers in the name of exaggeration.”

The Times of India: “The dark comedy world of Bloody Beggar is largely entertaining where colin sprays replace holy water, heart attacks become twists, and a Nanban Pari-esque science treatment wakes up the dead. And you willingly buy into these unfathomable twists because debutant Sivabalan ensures there is a logic behind all such seemingly stupid stunts that leave you in splits. He builds a horror comedy set up with a beggar entering a huge, isolated palace (there is a real ghost too!) but sleekly gives it a Nelson-esque effect. While watching the film, you look forward to a zany climax where all chaotic sequences come together. But Sivabalan chooses a calmer, hero moment followed by a sentimental touch. So even between some lags and a few jokes that don’t land, Sivabalan’s unique voice and Kavin’s ambition to try something different echo strongly.”
The News Minute: “Overall, Bloody Beggar was a decent attempt from Sivabalan, and the dark humour worked in several moments. One can notice traces of Nelson Dilipkumar’s signatures like the twisted humour, stoic characters, and chaotic ensemble — but they are a delight for the most part. Despite lagging in the middle, Bloody Beggar is an entertaining watch if you have the stomach for gory deaths, laughing about them, and messy family drama.” ‘Amaran’ Movie Review: Critics Praise Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi’s Stellar Performances in Rajkumar Periasamy’s Biographical War Drama.
