Malini Mannath of ''Chennai Online'' wrote "For fans of Karthik it will be a let down. For neither the actor nor the film works at any level".<ref>{{cite web |last=Mannath |first=Malini |date=23 January 2007 |title=Kalakkara Chandru |url=http://chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/2007/001Kalakkara-Chandru.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011072105/http://chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/2007/001Kalakkara-Chandru.asp |archive-date=11 October 2007 |access-date=14 March 2022 |website=Chennai Online}}</ref> S. R. Ashok Kumar of ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote "Anything well begun raises expectations. A film that starts with an interesting scene makes the viewers sit up for a fairly sumptuous fare. Thus when `Kalakkarae Chandru' opens with a scene a la the famous `Kaun Banega Crorepati' one's curiosity is aroused. But as the film progresses one realises with dismay that it is about the one and only gripping segment. It is again a case of the director unable to make use of a good theme".<ref>{{cite web |last=Kumar |first=S. R.
