A critic from Sify wrote that "Ravichandran is the only saving grace of an otherwise idiotic romantic mush".[3] Chitraloka.com wrote "In the days of action, vulgar and nonsensical films ‘Premakke Sai’ stands out as an example how a love subject could be neatly treated and served to the audience".[4]
