A critic from The Hindu wrote that "In other words, as moral-science movies go, Paisa is a far-easier watch than Appa".[4] Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express opined that "Mildly entertaining, Paisa could have been made more appealing and interesting".[5] A critic from Maalai Malar praised the performances of the lead cast, the music, and the cinematography while criticising the screenplay.[6]
