Reception

[edit]

Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff.com wrote "It might not be a slam-bang action movie with twists at every turn but Mundhinam Parthene is fairly accurate, humorous portrayal of life in a certain section of the society, deftly told. Definitely worth a watch".[2] Gautaman Bhaskaran from Hindustan Times wrote "Mundhinam Paartheney is sadly, a good theme that has not been crafted with care. Indeed, a classic case of an interesting plot spoilt by an awful narrative style".[13] A critic from Sify wrote "Magilzh Thirumeni, who has graduated from Gautham Vasudeva Menon School of filmmaking, has come out with flying colors as an independent director with Mundhinam Paartheney. It has a captivating freshness about it though there is nothing new in the story".[14] Malathi Rangarajan from The Hindu wrote that "The screenplay presents much scope for director Magilzh Thirumeni to infuse scenes with a surfeit of sexual overtones. Yet he exercises restraint and comes out with a natural, underplayed fare".[15] R. S. Prakash from Bangalore Mirror wrote that "It's a film that's an easy watch across an audience categories devoid of unnecessary elements in the name of commercial musts".[5] A critic from Behindwoods wrote that "Following his mentor Gautham Menon’s footsteps, he has chosen an urban milieu to narrate his story and has succeeded in recording it to a large extent".[16]
