Reception
Malathi Rangarajan from The Hindu noted "at a time when much-hyped, hero-backed films end up being mere dampeners, a low-key film like this comes with no unsavoury loudness or lewdness, is at least a decent offering."[6] Malini Mannath from Chennai Online wrote that "There are no big names associated with it, so one goes without any expectations. But the director's attempt towards the closing scenes to give a slightly practical and different ending to the love triangle, makes viewing the film a not-so-bad experience".[7] A critic from Sify wrote that "Kadhal.com is yet another triangular love story that we have seen in umpteen Tamil films about two friends falling in love with the same guy. Still Kadhal.Com is quite entertaining and worth a look as it is interesting in parts".[8]
