Reception
Malini Mannath of The Indian Express wrote, "Kattabomman is a fiasco and the only way to enjoy the film is to close one's eyes and ears". Thulasi of Kalki wrote that the director made an engine out of all spare parts, one should wait and see whether it would run in horse power or will fade. K. Vijiyan of New Straits Times wrote, "The storyline is quite predictable and the five songs are no help [...] Catch this movie if you have absolutely nothing to do or if you are a great fan of the Goundamani-Senthil comedy duo".
