Reception
[edit]Ashwin S of Cinema Express gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Muthal Pakkam must have been made with a lot of heart from its makers and cast, but in a circle of circumstances, one flaw from one side, creates a domino effect that affects the rest of the film. Its crime elements are flimsy, its characters are forgettable, and the writing is all over the place."[9]
