Release
Malini Mannath of Chennai Online opined that "With scenes and situations a little different from the routine ones, 'Kai Vantha Kalai' is a fairly engaging and a neatly packaged wholesome family entertainer".[5] On the contrary, S. Sudha of Rediff.com wrote that "In short, far from a comeback or launch pad, this is just a big bore".[6]
