The movie moves swiftly to reveal each character without going into too much depth thanks to a simple yet predictable plot that is based on real events.

Similar to other recent films like Ronth, Paathirathri examines the brutal dynamics of power struggles in different levels of law enforcement. Meanwhile, Ratheena also portrays loneliness, betrayal, love, and a sense of accountability in the most unvarnished way possible without focusing only on this theme. Every character has been structured to ensure that their portrayal of their vulnerabilities and determination to learn the truth is deeply moving. Although the film moves quickly and does not devote much time to exposing the case or the culprits, the question of whether justice has been done is still open.

Instead of presenting a straightforward slapstick comedy, the creators efficiently bring together three groups of people from various walks of life in one setting to find solutions to their concerns. Sahasam's comical moments are undoubtedly its most appealing feature; they keep viewers keen in a light-hearted way without having too many characters or intricate stories. Bibin Ashok's music plays a pivotal role in the film, adding the right mood for the movie. The revival of the soundtrack 'Oru Muthum Thedi' from the 1999 movie, Independence, is commendable. Additionally, performances are impressive, particularly those of Babu Antony as Wolf, Gouri G. Kishan as Sera, Ramzan as Jeevan, and Narain as Rajiv Nambiar. The remainder of the cast, however, never stops captivating the audience with their eccentric performances and demeanours.

Gayathri Krishna of OTTPlay gave a rating of 2.5/5 and wrote "Director Vineeth Kumar's attempt to bring back the beloved old-school Dileep has, for the most part, fallen flat due to a bland and prolonged narrative."
