Critical reception
Tamil Star wrote "Thai Poranthachu' has a fairly good story line and would have been a good comedy film but for the treatment which often slips into medocrity". Krishna Chidambaram of Kalki praised Prabhu's acting, Vivek's comedy but felt the director who moved the story without confusion loses track like a train. Sify wrote that the film "has a fairly good story line and would have been a good comedy film but for the treatment which often slips into medocrity".Indiainfo wrote "If you want to sacrifice your money and time for this stupid movie then go ahead. Prabhu with his funny wig and belly is a bad scene to look at but acts well. Kartik does his usual comic lover boy. The only new thing is stunt man Ponnambalam’s comedy". Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "The film is fairly interesting in the earlier portions but soon falls into the familiar pattern". Savita Padmanabhan of The Hindu wrote "The film is quite entertaining in the first half. But in the second half, the director gets a little carried away and it drags a bit here and there".
