Reception

The Times of India gave the film a rating of three-and-a-half out of five stars and stated that "Krishnaveni Panjaalai works in parts and could have been more engaging had its screenplay been more tightly knit."^[2] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "It is in the screenplay that Dhanapal falters. Scenes end abruptly and stand as separate strands without cohesion".^[3] India Today noted that "The climax of the film is very emotional and touches a chord. However, the screenplay could have been better".^[4]
