User ‘sekartweets’ wrote, “#ThalaivarThambiThalaimaiyil - A solid fun entertainer with a thought-provoking message in the end. After #Falimy, #NithishSahadev is back yet again with a laugh riot, yet with an emotional underscore on how the ego tussle and rumour mongers could burn an entire village. @JiivaOfficial‘s most entertaining film since SMS. Interestingly, he has played a character and not a namesake hero! Both #Ilavarasu and #ThambiRamaiah have played the egoistic neighbours to perfection, while #PrathanaNathan has also done a good job. A water tank also plays an interesting role that sends out a very important message. This could be a perfect Pongal weekend for the family. National Awards should also be  given for a film that talks about National Integration.”
