Reception
Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "To its credit, the film doesn't try to be preachy. It avoids heavy-handed social commentary, aiming squarely for the commercial entertainer space. But good intentions can't salvage a flimsy script. What’s left is a muddled affair that, by failing to generate either suspense or laughter, becomes a crime against both genres."[9] Ashwin S of Cinema Express gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Muthal Pakkam must have been made with a lot of heart from its makers and cast, but in a circle of circumstances, one flaw from one side, creates a domino effect that affects the rest of the film. Its crime elements are flimsy, its characters are forgettable, and the writing is all over the place."[10]
