The uninspiring writing is such that we seldom come across such enjoyable, slice-of-life moments in the film."{{Cite news |title=Mazaiyil Nanaigiren Movie Review : An uninspiring romantic drama |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/mazaiyil-nanaigiren/movie-review/116648259.cms |access-date=2024-12-26 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}{{rating|2|5}}
