Critical reception

A critic from The New Indian Express wrote, "Sivappu Mazhai may not have the greatest script going. But it’s a commendable effort from a first time maker, working within a time limit."[6] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Despite the hotchpotch treatment, particularly towards the end, you do notice some method in the making of ‘Sivappu Mazhai".[7] A critic from Indiaglitz called it "a good attempt considering the theme touched by the makers".[8]
