Positive reviews

A user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote on the microblogging website, “It's not stopping with #2018 or #RDX. Mollywood rampage continues #KasarGold opens with a great theatre experience. @Asifali as Alby Super Mass (fire emoji) @Vishnu Vijay and @Vinayakan are stole the show (star emoji) Another blockbuster on cards!! Claps and whistles still hears on the head.”

Another user had a less enthusiastic, but majorly favourable, response towards X. They wrote, “#Kasargold Review: Average Action Thriller (peace out emoji) #AsifAli looks cool & performs well (thumbs up emoji) Rest of the cast are huge & were good (too good emoji) BGM (fire emoji) Decent 1st half followed by average 2nd half (smile emoji) Story (namaste emoji) Rating: (3 stars)/5”

Negative reviews

However, a section of the audience's response towards Kasargold wasn't as generous. One user wrote on X, “#Kasargold : Despite a thin plot, it had all the elements for a potential crime thriller and until the second act it works. But Mridul loses the grip in the important final act where things get stretched out with a weak climax. Performances (thumbs up emoji) Average”

Another tweet of a review stated, “Asif Ali's #Kasargold is a frustrating crime caper where the protagonists are too silly to root for, writes @Vishal1Menon”
