Critical reception

''Sify'' wrote "It is supposed to be a love story with a difference, but 15 minutes in to the film you just can't fathom what's going on. It's neither a pure vanilla love story nor an arty film. Directors S.Haricharan and Newton tries their best to be in a different genre but ends up falling between two stools". ''Indiaglitz'' wrote "Thoovanam manages a gentle drizzle though it promises a loads of rain." ''Behindwoods'' wrote " The movie is directed by S. Haricharan and Newton who are also in-charge of story, screen play and dialogues. The duo have done a decent job with the script but the area of handling newcomers needs improvement which may have gone a long way in the presentation of the film. .The first half is a little slow but the second half makes up for the first one and is very gripping."
