Release and reception
The film's release was initially scheduled to release on 12 December 2014 postponed to 30 January 2015 and eventually released in February.[2]
Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express opined that "It's a lacklustre screenplay and an insipid narration. At times it gives one the feeling of watching a mediocre TV serial, that which never seemed to end. It is low-down comedy, a noisy affair lacking finesse".[3] A critic from Dinamalar criticised Ramesh Rangasamy's direction.[4] Vandhana of Silverscreen India wrote that "Pongi Ezhu Manohara could have been an impactful film. Instead, it is an example of how a movie, especially one based on real life, and with so much potential for drama, can become a half-baked mess".[5] A critic from Nettv4u stated that "Ponge Ezhi Manohara… Irfan fans get a good treat!"[6]
