Raja and Apoorva, a young couple falls in love and wishes to get married. However, they learn their families share different ideologies when it comes to love.
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Should you watch Mugil Pete? If you're a fan of old school commercial entertainers, then this one might be right up your alley".[4] A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express opined that "If you are one of those who like leisurely-paced romantic entertainers, Mugil Pete is for you".[1] Prathibha Joy of OTT Play said that "Mugilpete is all about maintaining relationships, whether it is between friends, siblings, lovers or parents and their children – it’s a little old-school, but if this is your cup of tea, go ahead and have it".[5] Vivek M. V. of Deccan Herald said that "'Mugilpete' fails to generate sensible arguments on arranged and love marriages. That is because the director wants the film to be a star debut vehicle for Manuranjan."[6]
