Reception
edit
Janani K of Indiatoday.in gave 1.5 out of 5 stars and stated, "The way the four stories converge at a point in 'Kannagi' during the climax didn't pay off well either. It is done in a manner that could leave the audience confused."[6] Anusha Sundar of Cinema Express wrote that "All the minute details finally lead up to the “twist”, which becomes the mother of all inconsistencies of Kannagi."[7]
