Reception
Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu wrote that "The film falls in the genre of youth films now in vogue, with weird themes revolving around inconsequential interpretations of love".{{Cite web|url=https://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mrg-muthyam.html|title=Of youth and love|work=The Hindu|first=Gudipoodi|last=Srihari|author-link=Gudipoodi Srihari|access-date=3 June 2024|archive-date=1 June 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240601080748/https://idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mrg-muthyam.html|url-status=live}} Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film two-and-a-half out of five and wrote that "The film story is very short. Screenplay is shabby. This film's duration is just 2 hours. Strength of the film is Vandemataram's music and songs. Weakness is screenplay".{{Cite web|url=https://idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-muthyam.html|title=Movie review - Muthyam|date=26 October 2001|work=Idlebrain.com|last=jeevi|access-date=3 June 2024|archive-date=1 June 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240601080750/https://idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-muthyam.html|url-status=live}}
