Critical reception
A critic from
The Times of India wrote, "Right from the romance between a school girl and a happy-go-lucky youngster to the devious manner in which the families of the lovers try to keep them apart, the film brings to mind the 2004 trendsetter
Kaadhal".
A critic from
The Hindu wrote, "
Raattinam is a film that succeeds in surprising you on more occasions than just one — the biggest surprise coming right at the end, in the form of the climax. To be fair to director K. S. Thangasamy, his story may appear clichéd, but the message he communicates through his film is relatively fresh and one that makes sense."
A critic from
The New Indian Express wrote, " Smaller films of debutants in the recent past have made a much stronger impact than star studded extravaganzas. And,
Raattinam’ definitely falls in the list of impressive films".
