Reception
C. R. K. of Kalki wrote Oyilattam is no different from other village centric films with typical elements but the rustic smell with the forest of nature is a bit too strong while praising the acting of Sundarrajan but felt after the arrival of Radha Ravi, the story changes direction and goes nowhere and concluded saying even if the rhythm escapes, Oyilattam is modestly beautiful.[7]
