Reception
S. R. Ashokkumar of The Hindu wrote "Muthukumar R, who is in charge of story and direction has also written the dialogue, which passes muster. If only he had made the screenplay tight, the film would have been engrossing".[1] The Hindu wrote "Vijayendra Productions “Thodakkam” starts on a bright note but the director is not able to sustain the interest till the interval. But the second half is fast-paced as it is action-oriented".[2]
