Reception

Sify wrote "The film is made like an old fashioned steamy tear jerker where good triumphs over evil in the last reel. Characters and milieu look early 20th century, they speak loudly as though they are on a stage without mikes". Behindwoods wrote "Ilaingan is a movie that extols the virtues of communism; of workers demanding their rights and fighting for them. A good tight plot which seldom deviates, but is weighed down by a slightly plain graph of narration and a bit incomplete period recreation. It will be a good watch for those who enjoy strong-willed dramas." Nowrunning wrote " Great effort has been taken to make the film with a ship of majestic proportions, but the story fails to impress. The plot is age old, something irrelevant in today's time."
