Reception
On release, film received mixed to negative reviews. Harish V of Behindwoods.com gave a negative score of 1.5 out of 5 stars and said "Think before you step in, Mind it !!" and "Go for this if you have time to spare and you haven't seen the trailers of the movie yet."
Rediff.com gave 3.5 out of 5, saying 'From his two-minute life span on a music channel, Quick Gun Murugan has come a long way indeed and deserves this full length feature dedicated to our very own Indian Cowboy with a buckle to die for (Stylists, may I please have a replica of the same?!). On the whole, QGM is as delicious as Mrs Murugan's dosais. As Rice Plate would have said, "A1, Tip Top!"'. Taran Adarsh gave this film 3/5 rating and described it as 'Quick Gun Murugan is an innovative experience. The adventures should appeal to the youth mainly.'Rajeev Masand of CNN IBN gave 3 stars as well. However, general public reception has been less enthusiastic, with the film generally 'flopping' wherever it has been released. Ashok Nayak of Nowrunning.com gave 3.5 on 5 stars and deemed that "Quick Gun Murugun is a tasty crisp dosa that should be enjoyed with a bit of popcorn and a lot of pepsi, but only in theatres. Go for it."

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
