Reception

M. Suganth of The Times of India opined that "With a weak script and limp performances, Durai Karthikeyan’s debut film mostly resembles a student film that has managed to get screened on the big screen". On the contrary, Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express wrote that "Unnodu... is ideal fare for lovers of this genre".
