Reception

A critic from The Times of India rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "Boomer Uncle is a comedy misfire, a barrage of noise and frantic energy that fails to amuse".^[4] A critic from Times Now gave the film the same rating and wrote that "Boomer Uncle has very little to offer in terms of entertainment and comes across as an insipid, poor comedy film".^[7] A critic from Dinakaran wrote that "In a story that moves as a comedy gala, all the characters keep talking is boring. Subhash Dandapani's cinematography is colorful. The background score by Shanthan and Dharmaprakash carries the film. Yogi Babu's die-hard fans may laugh".^[8] On the contrary, a critic from Thinaboomi wrote that "Without looking at any logic, this comedy gala performed with an army of comedy stars will definitely make the fans laugh till their stomachs hurt" and concluded that "Boomer Uncle is a Hollywood comedy riot".^[9]
