Madhu (2006 film)

A critic from Sify wrote, "To call the venture childish would be an understatement. All said and suffered we feel sorry for 'Jithan' Ramesh and Priya Mani".^[5] A critic from Rediff.com wrote, "Give this one a miss".^[6] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "The screenplay meanders without grip, and the tale leaves you untouched because at no point do you empathise with the characters."^[7] Cinesouth wrote, "Despite having a strong support like Ilayaraja’s music and B Lenin’s editing, the film falls short because of the weak screenplay".^[8] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "It's no doubt a plot slightly different from the routine ones, but the director lets go the chance of making it a meaningful film. [..] It does keep the audience fairly engaged for a time, the suspense element 'will-they-won't-they' keeping it going. But then the films tends to lag in the second half and when it's time to bring a suitable ending to the story, it's like the director chickens out, opting for a cliff-edge (literally) climax".^[9]
