Critical response

[edit]

Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India who gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and stated that, "Alas, all said and done, the clear highlight of Marakkuma Nenjam is Sachin Warrier’s soundtrack, which perfectly captures the mood of what the film was going for even more than the film itself".[12] Jayabhuvaneshwari B of Cinema Express who gave 1.5 out of 5 stars and stated that, "But when these films keep going back to age-old tropes and predictable plotlines, we can't help but wonder, "Haven't these 'high school filmmakers' learned their lessons yet?".[13] Manigandan KR of Times Now who gave 1.5 out of 5 stars and stated that, "In short, Marakkuma Nenjam fails to impress".[14]
