Reception
A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and wrote that "Although the movie is more than two-and-a-half-hours long, thanks to the comedy track it feels to be time well spent".[10] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu opined that "Somewhere through the making of PON, Rasu Madhuravan seems to have lost interest, and it shows".[11] Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express wrote, "Probably, the only watchable moment in the film is the impressively choreographed climax fight set in an Emu farm", and the film, "with nothing novel or exciting to offer, is forgettable fare".[12] A critic from Maalai Malar gave the film a negative review.[13]
