Reception

Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu said, "Jerks in the narration and unexplained sequences make certain situations appear distorted [...] Nearly every Mani Sharma number reminds you of an old song" and concluded, "Supergood Films could have surely done better in its 50th venture". [2] Sify wrote, "The story, screenplay, dialogues and direction are credited to debutant Ravi Mariya, but sadly the film fails to impress. The film is a rehash of many love stories in the past including Fazil's Kadhalukku Mariyadhai " and added, "The debutant boy Jeeva is cool and has done his homework well. He proves to be star material while TV anchor Sharmilee is disappointing". [3] Another critic noted, "This isn't an instant movie classic, but then it surely ain't as bad as the majority of critics want you to believe either. Instead one should relax and enjoy". [4] Visual Dasan of Kalki wrote since this is Ravi Mariya's first test match he felt local pitch is safe so he has taken a romantic subject in his hands while praising the performances of Jiiva and Sharmilee and concluded saying won't strong batsmen, talented all-rounders, and most importantly a captain who doesn't slip when the pitch is not right, lose the game? clearly understanding this cricket formula, the team of Aasai Aasaiyai has been on the field until the end. [5] Indiainfo wrote "Debutant director has tried to present the film in a new way. To some extent, he has delivered the goods. The film is predictable with an ordinary theme". [6]
