Critical reception
'Sify' wrote, "The story of 'Joot' is as stale as yesterday's bread, as the plot is clichd and seen in umpteen mass films in the same genre. The first half when the hero comes to the city from a village and gets into a fight with local goons for no fault of his, reminds you of 'Dhool'."[http://www.sify.com/movies/joot-are-you-ready-review-tamil-pclvyihjchjjg.html "Joot- Are You Ready?"], 'sify', 19 December 2003 Balaji Balasubramaniam wrote, "Azhagam Perumal too takes the masala route with 'Joot' after 'Dum Dum Dum', his first movie. But one wishes he hadn't followed Lingusamy this closely. 'Joot' is little more than a rehash of 'Run' (with a little bit of 'Dhool' thrown in) without the handling that made the original a first-class entertainer."Balaji Balasubramaniam, [http://www.thiraipadam.com/cgi-bin/movie_review.pl?id=442&user_name=bbalaji&review_lang=english&lang=english "Movie Review: Jhoot (2003)"], 'Thiraipadam' Joot was average at the box office.
