== Reception ==<br />
Film critic [[Baradwaj Rangan]] wrote, "There’s no effort in any department of filmmaking, and we’re just left with the sight of M Sasikumar angling for an easy B/C-centre hit. No one can grudge him that, and not every film can be a ''[[Subramaniapuram]]'', but is a little quality control too much to expect?"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://baradwajrangan.wordpress.com/2016/12/23/balle-vellaiya-thevaa-barely-any-laughs-for-a-comedy/|title="Balle Vellaiya Thevaa"… Barely any laughs for a "comedy"|date=2016-12-23|website=Baradwaj Rangan|access-date=2017-01-06}}</ref><br />
