Reception
A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "The deep bonding between a rustic grandpa and his city-bred little grand daughter, each filling up the emotional void in the other, is narrated with a fair amount of interest in Vannathupoochi. The film carries a relevant message to the parents, on the importance of sensitising themselves to the emotional needs of their children".[2] A critic from Dinamalar wrote that Azhagappan should be commended for capturing the children's future and urban parents who forget the present and live mechanically and the children indecencies beautifully and vividly.[3] In a mixed review, a critic from IANS rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Rasi Azhhagappan can be appreciated for taking a theme that is far from commercial cliches, but at the same time he fails to handle it with maturity".[4]
