Another critic felt the film balanced its message with heartfelt storytelling. The post read: “#Arulvaan – 3.25 stars. A heartwarming, empowering film about a tribal girl’s dream of getting an education. Drama is the soul of the film, with much of the story unfolding between the girl and the Collector. For a film that deals with important themes, surprisingly, it doesn’t do it preachy. @arulnithitamil shines in a refreshingly different avatar.“
