Krishna Chidambaram of ''[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]]'' wrote a story means a knot must be tied and then it must be untied. This is the basic grammar of a story. No one should say that Rama Narayan, who has directed hundreds of films, does not even know this, so ten minutes before the end of the film, he ties a knot and unties in the same speed.<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=2000-08-13 |title=குபேரன் |url=https://archive.org/details/kalki2000-08-13/page/n97/mode/2up |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20230630172047/https://archive.org/details/kalki2000-08-13/page/n97/mode/2up |archive-date=30 June 2023 |access-date=30 June 2023 |magazine=[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]] |page=96 |language=Tamil |via=[[Internet Archive]]}}</ref> ''India Info'' wrote, "Director Ramanarayanan, who has earlier dished out a few low budget comedy films catering to the frontbenchers, fails to raise his latest film Kuberan to even that standard. The film has a lopsided storyline with a comedy that falls flat. As for the cast, both Karthik and Kaushalya are wasted, while Manthra, as the oomph girl, manages to fare better than the others".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kuberan : No treasure trove this |url=http://movies.indiainfo.com/tamil/reviews/kuberan.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010617221416/http://movies.indiainfo.com/tamil/reviews/kuberan.html |archive-date=17 June 2001 |access-date=29 December 2023 |website=Indiainfo}}</ref> After the film's release, Manthra held a press conference to call out Rama Narayanan for giving her false promises about the length of her role.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chandrasekaran |first=Chandra |date=August 2000 |title=Manthra's complaining spree |url=http://www.minnoviyam.com/star/aug00/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001017235605/http://www.minnoviyam.com/star/aug00/index.html |archive-date=17 October 2000 |website=Minnoviyam |access-date=1 July 2024 }}</ref><!-- https://web.archive.org/web/20051230222426/http://www.dinakaran.com/cinema/english/reviews/08-08-00/kubaeran.htm --><br />
