Critical reception
Sify wrote, "Except for Vivek’s comedy there is nothing worthwhile in the film. The second half of the story goes haywire, the film drags and the large doses of old fashioned mother sentiments in the climax leave you exhausted". Behindwoods wrote, "On the whole, Pasupathy is an attempt that lacks proper conviction with an inferior script that decelerates the pace of the movie, if not anything else". Revathi of Kalki wrote the concern director showed in mother sentiment could have been shown in the screenplay as well. But at the same time, he wins by touching the heart of the mother clan. Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "What is appreciable here is that the director does not lose his focus from the main theme of mother-son bonding, with every episode and character converging towards it".
