Reception
editCritical response
editVinay Lokesh of The Times of India scored the film at 3.5 out of 5 stars and says "Fortuner highlights the complexities in today's relationships and how the young generation reacts when their expectations fall short. Director J Anivaarya deserves credit for adopting a refreshing approach that strikes the right chord. Fortuner takes you on an emotional journey that doesn't have the regular tropes of commercial films"[5] A Shardhha of Cinema Express scored the film at 2.5 out of 5 stars and says "Fortuner leaves us with a strong sense of déja-vu, and had there been better sync between the cast and crew, the result could have been a better picture."[6] Arvind Shweta of The News Minute wrote "The film may have worked well if it was made a decade ago. But right now, it is difficult to convince the audience with such a weak script."[7]
