He keeps the pace going, removing each hurdle as it crops up in the story, and moves to the climax briskly".{{Cite web |last=Mannath |first=Malini |date=19 July 2003 |title=Aaha Ethanai Azhagu |url=http://www.chennaionline.com/moviereviews/tammov285.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030814155441/http://www.chennaionline.com/moviereviews/tammov285.asp |archive-date=14 August 2003 |access-date=3 March 2019 |website=Chennai Online}} Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "Little else can be said about a film that has neither major gaffes nor unforgettable highlights".{{Cite web |last=Rangarajan |first=Malathi |date=25 July 2003 |title=Aaha Ethanai Azhagu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/fr/2003/07/25/stories/2003072501320201.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030902043448/http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/fr/2003/07/25/stories/2003072501320201.htm |archive-date=2 September 2003 |access-date=3 March 2019 |website=The Hindu}} R.
