The film opened to positive reviews from critics. The Times of India wrote that "On the whole, Ayngaran is definitely a film that speaks about a worthy cause, but it could have been made even better".[7] Cinema Express opined that "Convenient turns and poor writing affects this good-intentioned film that speaks about the misfortune small inventors face".[8] [9] Behindwoods rated the film with 2.75/5 stating that, "Ayngaran is a film with strong performances and characterization, instead of three subplots, had the film stuck to one, we would have gotten a more crisp, tight film. Nevertheless, the messaging at the end is too honest and when the end credits roll, you'll have something to take away from Ayngaran. Overall Ayngaran is engaging with good performances and delivers an important message."[10] A Critic from OTT Play gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and noted that " Ayngaran is a decent attempt that ends up as a movie which entertains in parts. Though there are engaging moments, more detailing of characters would have made it a better movie."[11]
However, G Gowtham Critic from India Herald mentioned that " In the second half, all of the characters are given sufficient closure, making the film more convincing. The protagonist's battles with all of his foes are likewise well-written"[12] Critic from Dinamalar gave 3 stars out of 5 [13]
