A critic from BizHat noted that "A good performance by Prasanna is the highlight of the film. As for his female lead Neelam, there is a long way to go. The stale storyline has nothing to offer".[2] A critic from Chennai Online wrote that "The makers might as well have kept the film Ragasiyamaiy.. from the audience!".[3] A critic from Sify wrote that "Ragasiyamai stars Five Star fame Prasanna and newcomer Neelam. It is yet another predictable story of two people falling in love, parental opposition, eloping, stunts, chases and a banal climax where everything ends on a happy note".[4] A critic from The Hindu wrote that "The tense filled moments, when the hero and heroine are separated in the melee, redeem "Ragasiyamaai... " to some extent."[5]
