==Reception==
''[[Sify]]'' gave the film four out of five stars, noting the film engages the audience due to the presence of actor [[Vivek (actor)|Vivek]] in the lead role.<ref name="Sify 1">{{cite news|title=Palakkattu Madhavan film review|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/palakkattu-madhavan-review-tamil-phdjHJaahaeeg.html|accessdate=10 September 2015|publisher=[[Sify]]|date=July 2015}}</ref> ''[[Times of India]]'' generally praised the film but declared its writing somewhat weak and wrote "[t]he entire first half is wasted with redundant scenes that try to tell us what a lazy person Madhavan is." A flaw was noted in writer/director M Chandramohan not developing his characters and letting them remain caricatures. Also, a lack of consistency in their behaviors prevented viewers from caring about them as much as was wished, and it was disliked that the director repeatedly had actor Vivek break the [[fourth wall]] for the sake of comedy.<ref name="Times of India 1">{{cite news|last1=Suganth|first1=M|title=Palakkattu Madhavan — Ivan Tamilan Movie Review|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/Palakkattu-Madhavan-Ivan-Tamilan/movie-review/47933939.cms|accessdate=10 September 2015|publisher=[[Times of India]]|date=4 July 2015}}</ref>
