Critical reception edit
Indiaglitz wrote "The movie has an interesting storyline, but the director seems to have lost his focus towards the second-half that takes the sheen away from it".[6] Rediff wrote "When you have 'Jithan' Ramesh, Gajala and Namitha in the star cast, you can expect nothing but a potboiler like Nee venunda Chellam. However, except for Gajala and Thilakan, the actors all compete for a Most Wooden Performance award, with Ramesh clearly emerging as the winner".[7] Sify wrote "There is nothing new in the story and director L.Venkatesan makes it too long at 2 hours 35 min, while the film loses its steam in 15 minutes after the first scene!".[3]
