Reception
editCritical response
editA critic from The Times of India scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Rest of the movie drags on without any logic, and as expected, has an abrupt end. Except for Pooja Gandhi, and to some extent Raghu Mukherjee, who try their best to lift the movie with their performances, others fail to impress. The movie is an exercise in futile".[3] Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana from Rediff.com scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and says "The film's music is nothing to boast of either. In fact, an item song picturised in the middle of a mine couldn't have gotten worse. Dialogues are old fashioned and the climax is nothing great either. All in all, Nee Illade has nothing going for it. Here's hoping Pooja and Raghu make better script choices in the future".[4] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "It would be difficult for the audience to cope with this awkward narration. There is nothing to revel about the music and songs are not up to the mark. All in all, it is not clear what made director Sivaganapathi to come out with this movie that helps neither him nor the artistes and even the audience, who not only pay money to buy the ticket".[5]
