Reception
AllIndianSite.com wrote, "The story seems ridiculous. The director completely failed to convince the viewers", though the critic praised the performances of Vignesh, Reshma and Ajith. Malini Mannath wrote for 'Chennai Online', "The film [...] has been years in the making and the script has undergone changes along the way. Not surprisingly it has a faded look". Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "The storyline is an attempt at being different. And that is about the only positive of ['Ennai Thalatta Varuvala']", adding that "But nothing makes an impact because the flawed screenplay and direction makes watching ['Ennai Thalatta Varuvala'] a tiring exercise".
