Reception

Critic Thamarai Manalan of Dinakaran wrote "there is full scope for Prabu and Devayani in this film to exhibit their exceptional acting talent", and that "both of them have performed remarkably well". The critic added that "after very long days, Prabu has achieved very great feat in acting, by completely melting down where the situation demands it and has emotionally burst out also where he would naturally be expected to do so".[4] Critic Sandya Krishna of Indolink.com wrote "if Rajkumar had been willing to make a strong statement in favor of rape victims living and enjoying the rest of their lives despite societal scrutiny, En Uyir Nee Thaanae could have become a classic. But he settles for the usual masala and stereotypical approach which makes the film appear flawed and incomplete".[5]
