Reception

A critic form Cinema Vikatan wrote that Munthirikkaadu would have been a noteworthy work of the times if more attention had been paid to the screenplay and character design, and if the caste dominance in a village had been analysed in depth and incorporated into the screenplay.[5] Yuvasri of ABP Nadu stated that had the point been made a little more emphatically, Munthirikkaadu film would have attracted many people's attention, and gave 1.5 ratings out of 5.[6]
