==Reception==
''Behindwoods'' wrote, "On the whole, Panithuli is just a less impressive portfolio for Ganesh Venkatraman, who has tried to show us that he can carry the roles of an action hero, a lover boy and a mentally unstable man."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pani Thuli Review - Pani Thuli Movie Review |url=https://behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-2/aug-12-02/pani-thuli-review.html}}</ref> ''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote "Panithuli is an example of how a simple story can be made complicated. To ensure that his film isn’t labelled run-of-the-mill, director Natty Kumar has added several episodes to a simple plot. But instead of making the film interesting, they have only turned it into a long and dreary affair."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Manigandan |first=K.

What it is, however, is a mishmash of terribly stereotyped characters trying in vain to mould themselves to suit a surreal landscape. The result leaves you laughing and yawning by turns".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Review: Panithuli fails to deliver |url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/report/south-review-panithuli-fails-to-deliver/20120810.htm}}</ref> ''[[Sify]]'' wrote "The romantic thriller is supposed to be full of suspense and twists but at the end it leaves you totally confused and bewildered as the hero character in the film. Kumar and Jay embarked on making a typical [[M. Night Shyamalan|M Night Shyamalan]] movie, but ends up with egg on their face".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160325095951/http://www.sify.com/movies/panithuli-review-tamil-pcma2Vafcccec.html Panithuli]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=13 August 2012 |title='Panithuli' (Tamil) |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2012/aug/13/panithuli-tamil-396674.html}}</ref>
