=== Reception ===<br />
''The Times of India'' gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and stated that "The film feels like a missed opportunity, especially at a time when farmers are fighting for water".<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/pagiri/movie-review/54388901.cms|title=Pagiri Movie Review {2/5}|newspaper=The Times of India|date=22 September 2016|access-date=18 August 2020}}</ref> ''Deccan Chronicle'' gave the film the same rating and wrote that " In the end, Pagiri is a very novel twist to the 'common man woes' idea, but shallow comedy undermines the impact it could have had".<ref name="D" /><br />
