==Reception==
''Indiaglitz'' wrote, "Prasanna after a series of serious portrayals in his earlier films opts for a laugh-riot role. He is at his best in comedy and stunt sequences. However, walking away with all honors is Vadivelu. Playing Prasanna's close aide, he brings the roof down with laughter. His body language and dialogue delivery provides instant laughter."<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 10, 2007 |title=Cheena Thana 001 - A laugh riot |url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/review/8929.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070918181201/http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/review/8929.html |archive-date=18 September 2007 |website=Indiaglitz |access-date=14 June 2014 }}</ref>

''Behindwoods'' wrote, "Prasanna has come up with a good performance. Vadivelu and his team guarantee the audience with clean comedy and he rocks as always. The sequences where he encounters a mottai need to be seen to be enjoyed. Visu who comes as a Governor delivers a few orders which are certainly rib ticklers of the highest order. Songs are just average. Many scenes from Seena Thaana are guaranteed to find themselves in the comedy programs of television."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jyothsna |last2=Movie Guru |title=Film Review - Seena Thaana 001 |url=https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-articles/movies-06/seena-thaana-review.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231006034123/https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-articles/movies-06/seena-thaana-review.html |archive-date=6 October 2023 |website=Behindwoods.com |access-date=17 August 2024 }}</ref>

''[[Sify]]'' wrote, "The humour here is the "Tom & Jerry", one-man- upmanship type. Prasanna wants to become a cop, but the comedians are determined that he does not get selected. So it becomes a merry-go-round of our hero Vs team of comedians- Vadivelu, Mannivannan, comic villain Riaz Khan and assorted 'terrorist' baddies who want to kill the governor, Visu. Sheela is there for the songs tuned by Deva."<ref>{{cite web |title=Cheena Thana 001 |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/cheena-thana-001-review-tamil-14525558.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715124003/http://www.sify.com/movies/cheena-thana-001-review-tamil-14525558.html |archive-date=15 July 2014 |access-date=9 August 2022 |website=[[Sify]]}}</ref>

''Bharatstudent.com'' wrote, "Prasanna excels both in the action scenes as well as comedy scenes. His comedy timing is also good. Vadivelu literally steals the show with his comedy. Sheela has a brief role. She acts in a couple of songs and then disappears. Visu, Riyaz Khan, Kasan Khan, Ilavarasu, Delhi Ganesh and others go about their jobs in a neat manner. Deva's music is good. The film is a good entertainer and can be enjoyed by both adults and children alike".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cheena Thana 001 Movie Review |url=http://www.bharatstudent.com/cafebharat/movie_reviews_2-Tamil-Cheena_Thana_001-Movie-Review-3,110.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714215045/http://www.bharatstudent.com/cafebharat/movie_reviews_2-Tamil-Cheena_Thana_001-Movie-Review-3,110.php |archive-date=14 July 2014 |access-date=5 July 2014 |website=Bharatstudent.com}}</ref>

''Chennai Online'' wrote, "No logic, says one of the captions that flash on the screen as the movie opens.
