==Critical reception==
''Behindwoods'' wrote "Director Sundareswaran subjects you to a melodramatic version of struggling-youngsters-making-it-big combined with a friend’s-sacrifice story. He also stages the hate-me-since-I-will-die-in-a-few-days sacrificial love story intertwined in a plot already ridden with too many clichés."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-1/thozha-review.html|title=THOZHA MOVIE REVIEW - Behindwoods.com Ajay Raj Nithin Sathya Premji Amaran Vasanth Vijay N Sundhareshwaran Kullu Manali Pollachi Tamil movie stills tamil movie gallery tamil movie trailer song picture gallery images|website=www.behindwoods.com}}</ref> Balaji B of ''Thiraipadam'' wrote "Thozhaa has a strong central protagonist but surrounds him with characters who are not so strong. So the film is on strong ground when focusing on its protagonist but turns slow and dragging when dealing with the people surrounding him. This happens throughout the film, from the initial backstories the characters are given to the final climax. So on the whole, Thozhaa is a not-so-bad film about a good friend."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thiraipadam.com/cgi-bin/movie_review.pl?id=717&user_name=bbalaji&review_lang=english&lang=english|title=Thozha - Tamil Movie Review|website=thiraipadam.com}}</ref> ''Rediff'' wrote "Imagine a sturdy house, brightly coloured, reasonably proportioned standing on wilting, slender sticks that barely support it amidst swirling flood-waters. That's Arowana Films' Thozha, directed by N Sundareshwaran."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/apr/12thozha.htm|title=Avoid Thozha|website=www.rediff.com}}</ref>
