Critical reception
[edit]Sify wrote "It is supposed to be a love story with a difference, but 15 minutes in to the film you just can't fathom what's going on. It's neither a pure vanilla love story nor an arty film. Directors S.Haricharan and Newton tries their best to be in a different genre but ends up falling between two stools".[2] Indiaglitz wrote "Thoovanam manages a gentle drizzle though it promises a loads of rain."[3] Behindwoods wrote " The movie is directed by S. Haricharan and Newton who are also in-charge of story, screen play and dialogues. The duo have done a decent job with the script but the area of handling newcomers needs improvement which may have gone a long way in the presentation of the film. [..] The first half is a little slow but the second half makes up for the first one and is very gripping."[4] Rediff wrote "This Tamil film is a must-watch -- only for those youngsters who want to propose to their girlfriends under the cover of the darkness in the movie hall. Rest assured, there will be no distraction from the onscreen proceedings. The whole film is senseless".[5] Jaanu of Kalki praised the background score, song picturisations, cinematography and dialogues but panned the screenplay.[6]
