Tamil Star wrote "Thai Poranthachu' has a fairly good story line and would have been a good comedy film but for the treatment which often slips into medocrity". [4] Krishna Chidambaram of Kalki praised Prabhu's acting, Vivek's comedy but felt the director who moved the story without confusion loses track like a train. [5] Sify wrote that the film "has a fairly good story line and would have been a good comedy film but for the treatment which often slips into medocrity". [6]
Indiainfo wrote "If you want to sacrifice your money and time for this stupid movie then go ahead. Prabhu with his funny wig and belly is a bad scene to look at but acts well. Kartik does his usual comic lover boy. The only new thing is stunt man Ponnambalam’s comedy". [7] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "The film is fairly interesting in the earlier portions but soon falls into the familiar pattern". [8] Savita Padmanabhan of The Hindu wrote "The film is quite entertaining in the first half. But in the second half, the director gets a little carried away and it drags a bit here and there". [9]
