Critical reception
Sify wrote "The trouble with popular television serial director Naga's debut film Ananthapurathu Veedu is that it just does not live up to the promise. It has been promoted as a supernatural thriller by its makers and ends up as a tame family run-of-the-mill movie." Behindwoods wrote, "Although AV has a couple of pluses to its credit, it lacks in pace and there is an uneven keel to it. The narration does not engage the audience which is much needed for a film like this. AV does not scare you at all and is right for people wanting a relaxed family fare." The New Indian Express wrote, "Labelled as a supernatural thriller with a comic touch, the film however neither generates fear nor laughter. In fact, it leaves you with no feelings at all. It has quite a few subplots with characters entering, leaves you with a narration that is bland and juvenile at places."
