Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff.com wrote, "Imagine a sturdy house, brightly coloured, reasonably proportioned standing on wilting, slender sticks that barely support it amidst swirling flood-waters. That's Arowana Films' Thozha, directed by N Sundareshwaran." Cinesouth wrote, "If the illogical scenes and the drag in screenplay had been avoided, Thozha would have passed the test". S. R. Ashok Kumar of The Hindu wrote, "P. Dana's camera work is commendable but Sundareswaran should have worked more on the screenplay. He should have roped in experienced talent for some of the roles", but appreciated the dialogues. == References ==
