Release
editThe Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and wrote that "It is hard to write off Vegam as a brainless repetition of clichés for it does engage the viewer. However, it does not happen with a gripping consistency".[7] Sify gave the film a verdict of average and noted that "Vegam can be a watchable fare for those who haven?t seen films of this genre. For the rest of the world, it could be a rather ordinary outing at best. Now, decide on your own".[8]
