== Reception ==
A reviewer from ''Chennai Online'' wrote, "Not much was expected of the film, with great publicity surrounding it, but surprisingly it has turned out to be a fairly engaging entertainer". The critic added "the takings are slightly old fashioned, but there are some twists and turns in the script" and "the second half could have been better worked out".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Manasiga Kadhal |url=http://www.chennaionline.com/Moviereviews/tammov14.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030710150226/http://www.chennaionline.com/Moviereviews/tammov14.asp |archive-date=10 July 2003 |access-date=12 January 2022 |website=Chennai Online}}</ref>
