Critical reception
The Hindu wrote "A decent film, no doubt, but is it the only criterion for a film to be worth a watch? The narration needs to be lucid, the story, plausible, the cast, suitable and the performances laudable. ‘Manjal Veyil’ has just about a little of everything."[3] Rediff.com wrote "Vaseegaran has obviously come in with honourable intentions – but the screenplay simply doesn't hold water."[4] Chennai Online wrote, "The director could not come up with fresh ideas to depict the friendship and the love. The drama that takes place in the marriage atmosphere too looks childish. So is the case with the so called twists".[5]
