Average rural drama on caste wars
Being a former associate of Mani Ratnam, we can see his master's influence in Dhana's shot division. On the downside, Dhana did not have anything new to say as caste wars in south Tamilnadu has been told several times. It is only the presentation that stands out. Overall, Padai Veeran is an average rural drama with an emotionally moving climax and is a socially responsible message.(more)

Caste and effect
Padaiveeran loses its fizz and becomes a different film. While there are some pertinent points (Bharathiraja makes a mark as ex-serviceman Krishnan), the film's flavour changes from the light-hearted rural drama it could have been to a heavy message-spouting vehicle. Composer Karthik Raja's tunes are hummable but the songs do serve as speed-breakers at times.(more)
