Reception
Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Theera Kadhal is a film that has its moments but falls short of being a truly compelling and emotionally resonant love story."[15] Bhuvanesh Chandar of The Hindu wrote, "If not for the three capable actors and Siddhu Kumar’s music, Rohin Venkatesan’s ‘Theera Kaadhal’ would have been more patience-testing than it already is."[16]
A critic from Dinamalar gave the film a rating of 3.25 out of 5 stars, stating, "The film reminds me of many old Tamil films, and it has many predictable scenes."[17] A critic from Maalai Malar gave the film a rating of 3.75 out of 5 stars, stating, "Jai performed well, and Aishwarya Rajesh's role was well crafted."[18] Thinkal Menon of OTTplay gave it 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "The dedicated performances of artists, relatable moments and convincing emotions justify the title Theera Kaadhal and make it a harmless watch."[19]
