Release

The film received negative reviews from critics. The Times of India gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and wrote that "After watching Thipparaa Meesam, one feels is like Mani in a key scene, wandering around in boxers and broken sunglasses, confused and affronted at the way the story unfolds".[13] The Hindu wrote that "Sree Vishnu and Rohini shoulder a story of strained bonds between a mother and her son".[14]
