Reception
Critical response
A critic of Dinamalar gave 2.75/5 stars.[20] Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Mother knows best, but Niram Marum Ulagil knows loudest—crafting four stories so emotionally overwrought they might as well come with complimentary handkerchiefs. [...] With its talented ensemble cast, Niram… had all the ingredients for a moving anthology. A more nuanced approach might have delivered the emotional punch the film so earnestly wants us to feel."[21] Narayani M of Cinema Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Behind all the sepia-toned and blue-tinted tales of love and loss, remains an anthology that is strangely devoid of any real thematic colour. And in its absence, Niram Marum Ulagil refuses to bring about any transformation—either on screen or within the audience. "[22]
