Suganth of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote, "the director, G Manikandan makes up for the lack of visual flair with wackiness that is distinctly homegrown (his superb visual twist to the term lip-lock is an instant classic), and confidently spins his yarn like an experienced raconteur".Suganth M 28 November 2015 144 Movie Review http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/144/movie-review/49957290.cms dead https://web.archive.org/web/20151201173216/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/144/movie-review/49957290.cms 1 December 2015 29 November 2015 The Times of India Baradwaj Rangan wrote for The Hindu, "Manikandan badly wants us to accept him as "hip" and "new-age" and whatever else we call the makers of C.
