Reception

The film released 24 March 2023 across the Tamil Nadu. Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 and noted that "N4 is an honest attempt with intense emotions, and it's definitely worth watching."[10] Sowmya Rajendran from The News Minute stated that "N4s central idea seems to have been to look at how an accidental crime exposes power equations and systemic prejudice, without casting anyone as a vicious villain"[11] Maalai Malar critic gave 2.75 out of 5 and appreciated the film.[12]
