Thiraipadam wrote "For the most part, Gummaalam reminds us of other recent movies featuring students and their activities. It features four such students and has them fighting over one woman. But the movie ventures into serious territory by giving the woman a sad, serious past. Not only do the two portions of the movie not gel, but the serious portion is too haphazard to make up for the distasteful and vulgar portions involving the four students".[4] The Hindu wrote "And if the story hardly affects you at any point, it is the treatment which leaves much to be desired".[5][6]
