Reception A critic from The Indian Express rated the film 1 out of 5 stars and wrote, "While the director has the creative freedom to decide whether a scene should feature silence, ambient sound, or music, Dheeram stands as a testament to the cost a film must pay for misjudgments while making such choices".
