==Critical reception==
''[[in.com]]'' rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and wrote Karuppampatti is a decent attempt and doesn't live up to its expectations because of its half-baked script about portraying family melodrama. Further adding that the screenplay lacked the much needed depth to convey the emotional bonding and the newbie director failed in detailing and his lazy execution only adds to its woes.<ref>{{cite web|author=Vivek Ramz |url=http://www.in.com/news/entertainment/movie-review-karuppampatti-is-a-decent-attempt-50199282-in-1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130509192031/http://www.in.com/news/entertainment/movie-review-karuppampatti-is-a-decent-attempt-50199282-in-1.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-05-09|title=Movie Review - in.com|publisher=in.com|date=2013-03-23|accessdate=2013-03-23}}</ref>

[[Baradwaj Rangan]] of the Hindu wrote "Karuppampatti is a rarity in the current Tamil-cinema milieu — it tells us that villagers can be self-centred and intolerant. (In other words, they don’t have to migrate to a big, bad city and then become self-centred and intolerant, their innocence squelched under the callous city-dwellers’ feet.) Rarer still is the (mild) feminist uprising during the climactic stretch."<ref>{{cite web|title=Karuppampatti: Kin deep
