Reception
Deccan Chronicle wrote that "On the whole, it is enjoyable most part of it". The Hindu opined that "It’s quite clear that if Manal Kayiru 2 was made into a play, it would mean repeating this flaccid attempt at humour hundreds of times". The Times of India stated that "Manal Kayiru 2 lacks innovativeness in the plot, and the unconvincing characterisations rub salt in the wound". Sify said "Among the other actors, SV Shekar, Visu, Lollu Sabha Swaminathan and Chams steal the show that they are the ones, who make us to sit through such a badly made film". Maalai Malar gave a mixed review.
