Reception
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".[5] 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.[6] 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".[7] 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".[8]
