Reception
Rediff notes that "'Ambasamudram Ambani' is worth a watch." 'Sify' wrote "Karunas a middle level comedian?s earnest and sincere attempt to turn hero with Ambasamuthiram Ambani falters due to a weak script. The film definitely has a nice, feel-good message but writer-director Ramnath?s script lets him down". 'Behindwoods' wrote "Although AA moves at a lackadaisical phase, it sure is a lesson for people striving to achieve excellence through hard work. AA is a good moral story apt for a family outing".
