==Critical reception==<br />
''Sify'' wrote "The story is as old as the hills, and it is hard to believe that it is based on a real life experience of Vijay's friend during his struggling dates. There is no logic and reason in Vijay's story, as it is screeching, sentimental, soap style, over the top melodrama suited more for the Tamil stage of the 50s".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/gnabagangal-review-tamil-pclxhIcecbcda.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314194111/http://www.sify.com/movies/gnabagangal-review-tamil-pclxhIcecbcda.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=14 March 2016|title = Gnabagangal|website=[[Sify]] }}</ref> [[Rediff.com]] wrote, "The screenplay is one huge yawn-fest potted with inadvertent comical situations, mostly provided by Pa Vijay himself. The man, together with director Jeevan, needs a couple of hundred acting and screenplay-writing classes. Meantime, maybe Pa Vijay should stick to lyrics."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/gnabagangal-is-tedious/20090703.htm|title = Gnabagangal: A tedious yawn fest}}</ref> ''The Times of India'' wrote, "The film has enough drama and pathos, but too goes too much into the conversation mode."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/gnabagangal/movie-review/4749178.cms|title = Gnabagangal Movie Review {2/5}: Critic Review of Gnabagangal by Times of India|website = [[The Times of India]]}}</ref><br />
