Reception
Malini Mannath of The Indian Express wrote, "Kattabomman is a fiasco and the only way to enjoy the film is to close one's eyes and ears". Thulasi of Kalki wrote that the director made an engine out of all spare parts, one should wait and see whether it would run in horse power or will fade. K.
