Reception

Critical response

S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote, "Vela sets up an intriguing premise, but fails to make use of it with things fizzling out in the end."[15] Princy Alexander of Onmanorama wrote, "'Vela' delves into the mystery of the missing boy case by placing two policemen with contrasting ethics at the heart of the drama."[16]

Cris of The News Minute gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "'Vela' is the kind of film that you'd tell someone about as, alright, nothing huge, but keeps you interested."[17] Times Now gave 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "With a well-crafted screenplay and dialogues by M. Sajas, expert editing by Mahesh Bhuvanend, and captivating cinematography by Suresh Rajan, Vela is poised to leave a lasting impression as a standout thriller."[18]

Anandu Suresh of The Indian Express gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Vela is one of those movies that offers a rare experience, thanks in large part to Shane Nigam and Sunny Wayne's remarkable performances, but is hindered by a scarcity of engaging moments."[19] Sajin Shrijith of Cinema Express gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Vela is most gripping when the two actors spew venom at each other."[20]
