Reception
Reviewing the film for The Hindu, Sangeetha Devi Dundoo stated Sammathame was a "middling urban romance that saves its best for the final portions." Dundoo felt that the film could have been more enjoyable with a better writing. Arvind V of Pinkvilla compared Sammathame with Orange (2010), writing "Despite the wafer-thin storyline and a whole lot of flat elements, 'Sammathame' has a respectable climax." In a more critical review, Murali Krishna CH of The New Indian Express called it a "haphazardly mounted film that fails to appeal."
