Critical reception
The movie opened to mixed reviews from critics.[4] The Times of India gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "This is pucca masala material and Babu Thooyavan does a fairly good job with it until the interval point. But the film fails to pick up steam...the script just fizzles out. There are no thrilling cat-and-mouse games and in their place all we get are predictable situations, a mood-killing love track...and a tame climax that is utterly disappointing".[5] The Hindu wrote, "If the director had avoided the temptation of including ‘necessary commercial elements’, Katham Katham would have been a quality film".[6] Rediff gave it 1.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "There are a few well-written dialogues, but a cliché ridden script, and ordinary execution by the debutant director makes Katham Katham a total waste of time".[7] Sify called it "undoubtedly one of the worst films of the year in terms of story and production values"[8]
