Critical reception
The New Indian Express wrote that "On the positive side, a sedentary first-half notwithstanding, 'Nil...'gathers steam in the latter, and is watchable, at least in parts. Selvaganesh's music score is pleasant on the ears". Behindwoods gave the film a rating of one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "On the whole, Nil Gavani Sellathey is not a badly crafted thriller. It does excite in patches, but is not able to sustain it for long enough intervals to completely grip you".
Soundtrack
Nil Gavani Sellatheys soundtrack is composed by Selvaganesh.
