Critical reception
Indiaglitz wrote "Director Thirumalai deserves credit for coming up with a movie that is fairly engaging."{{Cite web |date=28 July 2007 |title=Thee Nagar Review |url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/thee-nagar-tamil-movie-review-8840.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240212102714/https://www.indiaglitz.com/thee-nagar-tamil-movie-review-8840.html |archive-date=12 February 2024 |access-date=12 February 2024 |website=IndiaGlitz.com}} Sify wrote "There is nothing new in story or presentation and the film sags towards the climax, and is a total let down. Thirumalai, the director has etched the plot of the film from Dharani?s action movie Dhil, added some masala, and remixed it".{{Cite web |title=Thee Nagar |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/thee-nagar-review-tamil-pclws3cfbddaf.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160818043054/http://www.sify.com/movies/thee-nagar-review-tamil-pclws3cfbddaf.html |archive-date=18 August 2016 |access-date=23 July 2016 |website=Sify}} Chennai Online wrote "The script hops, skips and jumps through situations without much consistency. So, by the time you get tuned to one situation, the director has gone on to a totally new one. And by the time you get acquainted with this new one, you are distracted by a different track. The messages are varied, conveyed in a confused way that doesn't make any impact".{{cite web |last=Mannath |first=Malini |date=7 August 2007 |title=Thee Nagar |url=http://chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/Aug2007/08theenagar.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011073053/http://chennaionline.com/film/Moviereviews/Aug2007/08theenagar.asp |archive-date=11 October 2007 |access-date=14 March 2022 |website=Chennai Online}}
