==Release==<br />
The Times of India gave the Tamil version of the film a negative review, citing "the pre-release buzz around ''Thiraikku Varaadha Kadhai'' has mostly centred around a lesbian angle in the film, but that proves to be counter-productive", adding that "the film is also irresponsible in a way because it furthers the negative stereotyping of LGBTs as persons with low moral values and murderers".<ref name="indiatimes2">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/Thiraikku-Varaadha-Kadhai/movie-review/55109022.cms|work=The Times of India|title=Thiraikku Varaadha Kadhai Movie Review, Trailer, & Show timings at Times of India|accessdate=19 November 2016}}</ref> Similarly, The New Indian Express stated "it was a knot that had the potential to turn into a riveting thriller, but it’s opportunity lost here".<ref name="newindianexpress">{{cite web|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2016/oct/29/thiraikku-varaadha-kadhai-review-a-frayed-knot-of-a-thriller-1532795.html|publisher=newindianexpress.com|title=Thiraikku Varaadha Kadhai review: A frayed knot of a thriller- The New Indian Express|accessdate=19 November 2016}}</ref> Likewise, the Malayalam version garnered similar reviews, with a reviewer noting "Thulasidas is a veteran who has directed around 25 films as well as some long running popular serials. So he is not short on experience but his latest bi-lingual offering, ''Girls'', seems an amateurish attempt by someone in the initial days of his directing career".<ref name="deccanchronicle">{{cite web|url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/mollywood/061116/movie-review-girls-all-women-mishmash.html|publisher=deccanchronicle.com|title=Movie review 'Girls': All-women mishmash|accessdate=19 November 2016}}</ref><br />
