Deccan Chronicle wrote that "On the whole, it is enjoyable most part of it".[4] The Hindu opined that "It’s quite clear that if Manal Kayiru 2 was made into a play, it would mean repeating this flaccid attempt at humour hundreds of times".[5] The Times of India stated that "Manal Kayiru 2 lacks innovativeness in the plot, and the unconvincing characterisations rub salt in the wound".[6] Sify said "Among the other actors, SV Shekar, Visu, Lollu Sabha Swaminathan and Chams steal the show that they are the ones, who make us to sit through such a badly made film".[7] Maalai Malar gave a mixed review.[8]
