Gopika Is of The Times of India described the film as "a chaotic entertainer that hits the right notes" and rated it 3/5 stars. She wrote that Sahasam "is a comedy of errors with a finishing touch of blood, grime, and crime. Is there a plot? A little. Is there entertainment? Plenty! Sahasam doesn’t boast many acclaimed stars, but everyone in the cast has given their best. The comedy is refreshingly palatable — something not often seen in this genre in recent times."^[11]

Vignesh Madhu of The New Indian Express rated the film 1.5/5 stars and wrote a negative review, "The film is loaded with drugs, guns, action, shootouts, car chases, romance, bromance, and more, yet the substandard writing never makes us feel invested. It mistakes lazy, insipid writing for convenience and cinematic liberty, relying excessively on technical gimmicks to inject some energy. But at the end of the day, there's only so much that flashy cinematography and EDM-heavy music can do to cover up for the overall vacuity. It aims at madness, but there's very little method to it."^[12]

Swathi P. Ajith of Onmanorama called the film "a chaotic yet enjoyable ride that thrives on its comic cast" and wrote, "Despite these flaws, Sahasam remains an enjoyable watch thanks to its comedic core and spirited performances. It thrives on the energy of its ensemble cast and the sheer unpredictability of its plot. While it may not dig deep emotionally or offer tight storytelling throughout, it delivers enough laughs and chaos to keep audiences entertained."^[13]

Gayathri Krishna of OTTPlay rated the film 3/5 stars and wrote, "The humorous performances and story that emerges from turmoil make the entertainer a one-time watch."^[14]
