Critical reception

Behindwoods wrote "All said and done Magane En Marumagane is a family movie and given the huge success of tearjerker sitcoms in primetime television, it stands a chance to exert its pull over women and rural audiences in particular."^[2] Sify wrote "Magane En Marumagane, is not a fun movie. It is pure mush and melodrama, and looks like director TP Gajendran has etched the story from the 60?s and 70?s family glycerine tearjerkers".^[5] Kollywood Today wrote "Magane En Marumagane is one such film that annoys you badly putting you restless all throughout the film. The very basic presentation of this film itself looks like a village affected with plague as every character on the screen looks like dullards".^[6]
