Critical reception
Behindwoods wrote "Manjal Veyil is about friendship and love, but it is hard to fall in love with this movie. There are too many pitfalls, enough to negate the universal appeal of the subject. Vaseegaran could have come up with a more pleasing account of two of the most wonderful emotions."[4] The Hindu wrote "A decent film, no doubt, but is it the only criterion for a film to be worth a watch? The narration needs to be lucid, the story, plausible, the cast, suitable and the performances laudable. ‘Manjal Veyil’ has just about a little of everything."[5] Rediff wrote "Vaseegaran has obviously come in with honourable intentions -- but the screenplay simply doesn't hold water."[6]
