Soundtrack was composed by Britto Michael.[1] A critic from News18 said it "has moments of melody, but only for a short term".[4]
Sify wrote "On the whole, Sundattam is not entirely unwatchable".[5] The Hindu wrote that the director was unable to "make up his mind" whether Sundaattam was "a gangster film or a sports movie. He had ignored the conventions of both theses genres making it a bad hybrid".[6] The New Indian Express wrote "Unlike Striker, Sundattam just doesn’t strike the right chord".[7] Daijiworld wrote that the film "struggles occasionally to convince the audience that the game of carrom was merely used as a backdrop to build the narrative. However, it scores high with its deft screenplay that stays away from cliches".[8]
