Reception
Vivek Ramz of In.com rated the film 2.5 out of 5, and added that it "lacks in the action department but makes up for it by scoring on the entertainment front".[9] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "'Hundred per cent Thillu Mullu' is the tagline – 'and zero per cent logic' would have described Mirattal better."[10] Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff.com wrote, "It's almost as though director Madhesh felt compelled to direct the movie and did so, bored out of wits. Watch at your own risk".[11] Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express wrote that "with no punch, novelty or excitement in the screenplay, the film is an average entertainer, at the most".[12] The Times of India wrote, "Go in with minimum expectations and you will not be disappointed".[13]
