Reception
editTimes of India wrote "The story by Abirami Ramanathan has scope for a better entertainer, but the flow of sequences is sluggish for most parts of the first half."[7] Indiaglitz wrote "'Unnodu Ka' directed by RK is a film that aspires to be funny in every scene and make you leave the movie hall with the satisfaction of having laughed out of your heart. The intentions are clear. You have to forget the logic. Cinematic liberties, predictability of the script from start to end, convenient turn of events, and all characters behaving freakily.. all are there. Most of the intended jokes don't serve the purpose. But despite all these the film manages to keep you engaged and passes through as a decent light-hearted entertainer".[8] Vishal Menon of The Hindu felt the film was "more like a blooper reel than a full-fledged comedy".[9]
