Reception Malathi Rangarajan from The Hindu wrote that "Merits apart, Varnam boasts of a strong storyline. It is the screenplay that lacks punch". Dinamalar praised the cinematography and the music. A critic from The New Indian Express described the film as "meticulously crafted, deftly narrated and intriguing," stating that 'Varnam' is a definite watch. Anupama Subramanian from Deccan Chronicle gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and wrote that "Varnam is worth a watch". A critic from Sify rated the film two out of five stars noting that "the film may prove a tad slow to those who are used to fast paced action films or too realistic for those in love with glossy romantic love stories".
