A critic noted that "A well-crafted screenplay, clearly defined characters, a smooth, realistic flow of scenes, and fine performances from its entire cast, makes 'Thenmerku Paruvakaatru' one of the more watchable films of recent times". His next film Neerparavai (2012) also released to positive reviews with a critic stating that "Neer Paravai is a beautiful record of the lives of a community, their hopes and dreams, and the harsh reality of their lives.
