Critical reception
A critic from Behindwoods wrote "M3V is not something that one would expect to be accepted at all levels. In fact, one would give it chances only in multiplexes and even here only select audience with patience and observation might be able to fully appreciate it. Niche, is what we would like to call it. Congrats, director Krishna Shehsadri Komadam for being daringly different."[3] A critic from Rediff.com wrote "Commercial movie-lovers might not find this to their taste but if you're a lover of fairly realistic cinema, capturing the life of an urban metrosexual's life and times, then M3V is for you".[4] A critic from Chennai Online wrote that "To sum up, M3V impresses in parts and fails to emerge as a wholesome movie".[5]
