Reception

Kirubhakar Purushothaman of News 18 rated four star out of five and stated that "Maayakoothu is another example of how indie filmmakers and small-budget films reach greater heights of storytelling and immense depth in philosophical thought than our mainstream cinema." [6] Narayani M of Cinema Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Maayakoothu effectively blends realism with surrealism to showcase the battle between cynicism and optimism. It presents the need for responsibility in various forms of art, even when you can see the climax from afar, even when truth is withheld with a purpose, even when the magic of art itself is dying." [7] Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Maayakoothu is one of those films where you find yourself rooting for the concept more than the movie itself–which is both its charm and its problem." [8]
