Reception

A review by Abhinav Subramanian for The Times of India mentioned, "The movie could resonate with a niche audience from a particular time and place. The lead pair share decent chemistry, and there's a sincerity to how the film approaches its emotional beats". (...) and that it was a ”love story released in 2026, set in 2005, that feels like it should have come out in 2006. Maayabimbum arrives two decades late and wonders why nobody's home.”[5] The film was also reviewed by Dinamalar,[6] Cinema Vikatan[7] and Dina Thanthi.[8]
