A week later it was released on the streaming platform Amazon Prime. Sree Vardhan Vellala for wrote “One also wonders why the movie is named ‘10’. Except for the protagonist’s jersey number, the number 10 has nothing much to do as far the film’s theme or its conflicts are concerned.” wrote “Sports dramas are predictable and Ten is no different. Like every film from that genre, Ten also speaks about the formulaic rise, fall, and rise of the hero. However, what is missing is the edge-of-the-seat adrenaline rush that such films provide. However, the parallels between a coach and student’s life and how a coach tries and fails to salvage his student’s career has been showcased well.” A Sharadhaa of rated 3 out of 5 stars and wrote “Karm Chawla’s film has above-average writing and direction, and hits the required highs, and delivers killer punches at the right moments.”</p>
