Release[edit]

The Times of India gave the film a rating of three-and-a-half out of five stars and stated that "‘Krishnaveni Panjaalai’ works in parts and could have been more engaging had its screenplay been more tightly knit".[3] A critic from the Hindu wrote that "It is in the screenplay that Dhanapal falters. Scenes end abruptly and stand as separate strands without cohesion".[4] India Today noted that "The climax of the film is very emotional and touches a chord. However, the screenplay could have been better".[5]
