Reception
A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and wrote that "Although the movie is more than two-and-a-half-hours long, thanks to the comedy track it feels to be time well spent". Malathi Ranagarajan of The Hindu opined that "Somewhere through the making of PON, Rasu Madhuravan seems to have lost interest, and it shows". A critic from Behindwoods rated it 0.5/5 deeming it to be "an outdated romance-revenge". A critic from Maalaimalar gave the film a negative review.
