Reception
S. Sudha of Rediff.com gave the film a rating of two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "On the whole, a commendable effort, considering it was completed with great difficulty". Malini Mannath of Chennai Online stated that "'Yuga' neither excites nor entertains". BizHat's critic praised the film calling it a "nail biting thriller". A critic from Cinesouth wrote that "This is not a film on love, lust or gangsterism. Such an ad propels one to buy a ticket and hasten to see what this new type of film could be. A little bit of 'wow,' and a little bit of yawn is what it turns out to be". Lajjavathi of Kalki wrote the director wants to add the supernatural to the scientific subject, but the science gets spoiled in the beginning as it is not tied properly.
