A review at That Shelf wrote, "Sivam’s bittersweet love story highlights the best and the worst of what humanity has to offer.
The film depicts acts of prejudice, cruelty, and malice that leave you feeling cynical about a better tomorrow.
But Roobha also features acts of love, compassion, and selflessness that remind us what makes the world worth saving"[6] while Asian Movie Pulse found " There was a number of scenes where it felt like it could have been better but considering the importance of the way the story is said and the budget, it is an accomplishment the makers could be proud of.
