Reception


IndiaGlitz wrote "Though Keyar has taken up a message in the movie, he seems to have made the movie interesting by adding commercial elements at right mix". Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "Despite a logical story line, a docu-feel does crop up now and then [...] The ideal is lofty. But the insensitivity in execution (for the most part) is disconcerting". Malini Mannath wrote for Chennai Online, "Though Dancer is predictable story-telling, it's a film you would not regret watching".
