Reception
editA critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "The script is intriguing, and the director adopts an unconventional narrative style. More of an experimental film, it would be of interest to a discerning viewer".[8] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "Had the director made the movie more cogent and concentrated more on the script, Aridhu Aridhu would have been a decent fare".[9] A critic from Dinamalar wrote that "Hariraj, who makes us sit upright in the very first dialogue, [...] would have been talked about even more if he had shown it more effectively in the screenplay and direction".[10]
