Reception

Behindwoods gave this film two out of five stars stating that "While movies like Ethan briefly touched upon the banking problem, Mahaan Kanakku goes for the throat and gets it".[6] A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "Although there are minor flaws, they need not be overstated as this film should be taken as a valid awareness effort".[7] A critic from Maalai Malar wrote that "Borrowing lakhs of lakhs from beggars is an interesting activity. It is a trademark to hold revenge films with a smile on the face of a hurt heart. For the eyes bored of love stories, the social problem was portrayed in a compelling screen story".[8]
