Reception

The film premiered on Aha on 29 April 2022. [8] [4] Sruthi Raman of The Times of India cited that "This dramedy explores the double-sidedness of social media" and further wrote that "While the film does have a needed message for the internet generation of our times, it’s not as breezy as it intends to be". [9] S Subhakeerthana from OTTPlay noted that "Payanigal Gavanikkavum makes us smile, laugh and cry. The film is simple, yet compelling, and is worth a watch." Gave 3 out of 5 Rating. [10] Zee News Critic mentioned that "The film emotionally conveys the problems caused to the people concerned by taking photos and videos of the small actions of a stranger in public and posting them on social media. We don't see the real situation behind the ordinary passing. Director Sakthivel Perumalsamy has decided to tell this strongly and has directed this film. The patiently moving screenplay tests our patience but the message of the film makes us forget everything." [11] Dinamalar Critic gave 3 out 5 rating for the film. [12]
