In her review for NDTV, Latha Srinivasan wrote, “The Jailor sequel is a solid commercial entertainer from superstar Rajinikanth. There’s humor, action, music and a star that keeps the frame going, though the writing loses its way at times, especially in the second half. Ultimately, Nelson Dilipkumar’s Jailer 2 is the fun story of Jailer 2, the fun story of Watch 3. Tiger Muthuvel Pandian is far away now.
