Reception

Avinash Ramachandran of Cinema Express who gave 2.5 stars out of stars after reviewing the film stated that,"It is quite a shame because Naan Mirugamaai Maara could have been cut out of the same cloth as a John Wick or a Nobody, but the overt sentimentality and emotional prodding make it a rather middling experience".
