==Reception==
[[IBN Live]] wrote that the film was "a good attempt, but following just four characters is a bit tiring at times."<ref name="IBN Review">{{cite news|title=Kan Pesum Vaarthaigal on IBN Live|url=http://content.ibnlive.in.com/article/24-Mar-2013south-cinema/tamil-review-kan-pesum-vaarthaigal-lacks-a-story-line-380890-71.html|accessdate=4 April 2013|newspaper=CNN IBN|date=24 March 2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130616073051/http://content.ibnlive.in.com/article/24-Mar-2013south-cinema/tamil-review-kan-pesum-vaarthaigal-lacks-a-story-line-380890-71.html|archive-date=16 June 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Hindu issued feedback on how the subject is perfect from the talent adoption history of Singapore from R. Saravana Kumar, who reacted to the review of Udhav Naig from [[The Hindu]] said that it was a "classic example of how easily things can go wrong in a film, when two producers, who have largely ignored the need to research their subject matter, come together. The review came within hours of the movie was released. However there is no proof for Udhav Naig's irresponsible statement that the writer has largely ignored the research . In fact, the Singapore talent adoption history (favouring the writer) shows that they are continuously on the lookout for talent from overseas. Thus the review conflicts from the fact."<ref name="Kan Pesum Vaarthaigal The Hindu News">{{cite web|title=Kan Pesum Vaarthaigal The Hindu|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/kanpesum-vaarthaigal-no-eye-for-detail/article4541622.ece|work=Kanpesum Vaarthaigal: No eye for detail|publisher=Udhav Naig|accessdate=4 April 2013}}</ref> Malini Mannath from The New Indian Express said "The film has a lyrical title and some appealing visuals of Singapore. But not sufficient to make the celluloid trip worthwhile!".<ref>{{cite news|title=Kan Pesum Varthaigal Indian Express|url=http://newindianexpress.com/entertainment/reviews/article1514588.ece|accessdate=6 April 2013|newspaper=The New Indian Express|date=28 March 2013}}</ref>
