Reception

[edit]

Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Kalaiarasan keeps things moving by focusing on character friction rather than plot gymnastics. The comedy is rooted in observable behavior [...] No scene overstays its welcome, so if one bit falls flat, a better one is right around the corner. Thankfully, that's mostly how it plays out."[16] Akshay Kumar of Cinema Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Rio and Malavika have struck gold in the portrayals of their respective roles. These characters are going to stay with us for a long time. Slumps in the second half never weigh down on the film that is built on a solid premise fortified by strong characterisations and performances."[17] Anusha Sundar of OTT Play gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Aan Paavam Pollathathu is a fairly entertaining watch if you take gender politics out of question. But for a film like this, which wants to put itself in a politically correct position, there is no leeway for the mistakes it makes."[18]
