==Critical reception==<br />
''Sify'' wrote "The trouble with popular television serial director Naga's debut film ''Ananthapurathu Veedu'' is that it just does not live up to the promise. It has been promoted as a supernatural thriller by its makers and ends up as a tame family run-of-the-mill movie."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.sify.com/movies/ananthapurathu-veedu-review-tamil-pclxCvbjjjdfj.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151126025904/http://www.sify.com/movies/ananthapurathu-veedu-review-tamil-pclxCvbjjjdfj.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=26 November 2015 | website=Sify.com | title=Ananthapurathu Veedu |date=10 July 2010}}</ref> ''Behindwoods'' wrote, "Although ''AV'' has a couple of pluses to its credit, it lacks in pace and there is an uneven keel to it. The narration does not engage the audience which is much needed for a film like this. ''AV'' does not scare you at all and is right for people wanting a relaxed family fare."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-2/ananthapurathu-veedu-movie-review.html | title=Tamil Movie Ananthapurathu Veedu Review | website=Behindwoods.com | last=Behindwoods review board | access-date=June 22, 2022 }}</ref> ''The New Indian Express'' wrote, "Labelled as a supernatural thriller with a comic touch, the film however neither generates fear nor laughter. In fact, it leaves you with no feelings at all. It has quite a few subplots with characters entering, leaves you with a narration that is bland and juvenile at places."<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/reviews/article181870.ece| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160807154107/http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/reviews/article181870.ece| url-status = dead| archive-date = 7 August 2016| title = Ananthapurathu Veedu | publisher=The New Indian Express | date=12 July 2010}}</ref><br />
