Reception

Thinkal Menon of The Times of India rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Though the movie provides laughs in certain sequences as expected, the logic goes for a toss several times. The number of songs, which make no impact, too, test the patience." S. Subhakeerthana of The Indian Express gave the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Charlie Chaplin 2, a wasted sequel, is carelessly written with a bad screenplay and outdated ‘jokes’." Sudhir Srinivasan of Cinema Express wrote, "Lazily done and insensitive, the film may not even go on to make for attractive television". Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "A comedy of errors that ends up eliciting only a few laughs".
Anjana Shekar of The News Minute wrote, "the jokes are so poorly written that it might want to make you exit the theatre immediately." Sreedhar Pillai of Firstpost wrote, "Basically the film is some comic situations put together which, on paper may have made the team laugh but execution on screen falls flat." Anupama Subramanian of Deccan Chronicle wrote, "Logic goes for a toss nearly throughout the entire proceedings. There seemed to be editing jumps as well. After a point, with so many characters walking in and out of each frame, we get a feeling as if we are watching a mega-serial."
