==Reception==
Balaji Balasubramaniam of ''bbthots.com'' said that the film, "has all the aforementioned characteristics but unfortunately, is also needlessly vulgar in its portrayal of romance" and added that "Jeeva delivers a good performance. [...] Sharmilee is a tad below him in terms of performance but isn't particularly bad either. But the debutante comedian is irritating and never funny".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbthots.com/reviews/2003/aaasaiyaai.html|title=AASAI AASAIYAAI|accessdate=28 May 2018|author=Balaji Balasubramaniam|publisher=bbthots.com}}</ref> Malathi Rangarajan of ''[[The Hindu]]'' said, "Jerks in the narration and unexplained sequences make certain situations appear distorted [...] Nearly every Mani Sharma number reminds you of an old song" and concluded, "Supergood Films could have surely done better in its 50th venture".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/fr/2003/02/07/stories/2003020700880200.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131227135528/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2003/02/07/stories/2003020700880200.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=27 December 2013|title=Aasai Aasaiyai|date=7 February 2003|accessdate=28 May 2018|work=[[The Hindu]]|author=Malathi Rangarajan}}</ref> [[Sify]] wrote, "The story, screenplay, dialogues and direction are credited to debutant Ravi Mariya, but sadly the film fails to impress. The film is a rehash of many love stories in the past including Fazil's ''[[Kadhalukku Mariyadhai]]''" and added, "The debutant boy Jeeva is cool and has done his homework well. He proves to be star material while TV anchor Sharmilee is disappointing".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/aasai-aasaiyai-review-tamil-pcluzbhagaacc.html|title=Review : Aasai Aasaiyai|date=7 February 2003|accessdate=28 May 2018|publisher=[[Sify]]}}</ref> Another critic noted, "This isn't an instant movie classic, but then it surely ain't as bad as the majority of critics want you to believe either. Instead one should relax and enjoy".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.bizhat.com/review_aasai_aasaiyai.php|title=BizHat.com - Aasai Aasaiyai Review|accessdate=28 May 2018|publisher=movies.bizhat.com}}</ref>
