The soundtrack has received mixed critical reception and was only a moderate success. wrote “Director Badri along with Bharath has dished out Thambikku Indha Ooru another pot-boiler using all the cliches and gimmicks associated with mass movie targeting the B & C audiences.<br /> The film has no story, logic, reason or continuity with scenes cyclostyled from earlier films”. wrote “Insane plot twists, ridiculous situations and completely illogical sequences follow, leading to an end that can’t come sooner”. wrote “It indeed requires expertise to deliver entertaining and engaging masala flicks but due to the inept screenplay, TIO loses fizz and falls flat”. wrote “When an actor is bent on establishing himself as a super hero and the director is willing to pander to his whims, the result is bound to be on the lines of ‘Thambikku Indha Ooru’ (U). The Bharath-Badri combo travels on the beaten track of a boy-meets-girl romance and predictable villainy. [..] The saving graces of ‘Thambikku …’ are just a few – Prabhu’s performance, Ranjith’s ease as a villain and Bharath’s footwork in that order”.</p>
