Another added, “#IdliKadai First Half – Too Good – Started off with the Foreign modern backdrop & character arc of Dhanush & ArunVijay – Loved NithyaMenen’s character & Fun moments surrounding the character – Actor #Dhanush once again peaked with performance, especially Emotional scenes – GVPrakash Montage songs & his BGM towards the Interval was superb – Interval Face off block was Fire & elevation point of film. First Half is fully what we have seen from the trailer, Looking forward for Second half.”

A third person wrote, “#IdliKadadi First Half !! What a Beautiful writing from #Dhanush…So simple but engaging. He went into the PaPandi Zone. Emotional connect totally worked.”
However, the film has also garnered a few negative reviews. An user tweeted, “Family drama unfolds at a slow pace, with heavy sentiments especially in the Dhanush–Rajkiran scenes. Dhanush–Nithya Menon chemistry is engaging as always. Sathyaraj, Arun Vijay, and Shalini’s characters fail to make a strong impact on the audience. As usual @dhanushkraja acting but director Dhanush. Boring screenplay.”
