Reception
D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "An ordinary love story has been made fairly entertaining in Sameera Films' ``Enrendrum Kaathal '' . The lead pair Vijay and Ramba have a major say in it — the former makes good use of the openings given in the dialogue of `Crazy' Mohan while the latter is her glamorous self". Ramanujam also appreciated the cinematography by Shiva. Ananda Vikatan rated the film 34 out of 100.
