Reception

Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India rated two point five out of five and stated that "Konjam Pesinaal Yenna is an easy breezy watch as long as it just follows the leads’ love story and doesn't try to be too inventive just for the sake of it or doesn't have a mother give a forceful lecture to her daughter."^[9] Jayabhuvaneshwari B of Cinema Express rated one point five out of five and wrote that "When the film neared its climax, I wondered if it would have made better sense to release it during or immediately after the pandemic"^[10]
