Reception

Behindwoods wrote "Masilamani gives you an instant hangover of having watched too many movies over a very short period of time. The script feels like a medley-mash of movies released over the past decade. And it wouldn't be possible for us to name each of them since the list runs to pages." [3] Indiaglitz wrote "As said old wine in a new bottle, SUN Pictures' 'Masilamani' definitely adheres to this quote. The movie reflects a mix of several masala flicks with a dash of refinement." [4]

Box office

Maasilamani was a commercial success at the box office grossing $2 million. [5]
