Reception

Agilan received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics.[12]

Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu wrote "Watching Agilan is the equivalent of being thrown into the middle of choppy waters — you’re trying to keep yourself conscious but wave after wave of randomness keeps hitting you, tiring you to even hope for some respite."[13] Maalai Malar gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "In the first half, the screenplay is lively and interesting, and in the second half, the action is mixed."[14] Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Although Agilan has the usual commercial tropes we've seen before, its backdrop makes it slightly more interesting. While the film is watchable, the second half fails to satisfy the audience's expectations."[15] Dina Thanthi wrote "Director Kalyana Krishnan has shown the other side of the treacherous world of sea, ships and selfishness of people in a one-line story about how the life of the grassroots is crushed by the shenanigans behind the maritime trade."[16]
