Reception
R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS praised it for remaining faithful to the Malayalam version but criticized the performance of the lead actors and said it pales in comparison to the superlative performances of the character artists. A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Jootaata is still enjoyable despite several minus factors, mainly because of a good plot and competent performances from character artistes". A critic from Viggy wrote that "On the whole, Jootata disappoints if you have high hopes on N. S. Shankar's movie".
