critic veeyen writes: "tharangam' is a wickedly dark movie and one crazy ride, a work of comic insanity that asks you to buckle your seat belts on, simply feel the air rush against your face and let things be." he later on adds, "it could only be a real zany mind that would have the nerve to start off his film as this, and dominic arun within minutes has the audience dropping their jaws – either in amazement or in morbid fear of what’s in store for the next couple of hours."
