Critical response
Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "[...]Otha Votu Muthaiya isn't a film where you have to fish for answers or expect a logical flow in what's happening. With that said, to the film's credit, it also doesn't pretend to be anything more than that."[13]. Dinamalar rated two point two five [14]
