Reception
[edit]A critic from The New Indian Express wrote that "The director probably wanted to highlight women-power, but that hardly registers. Kolakalam hardly has anything to entice a viewer".[4] A critic from Dinakaran praised the comedy scenes and felt that the music and cinematography were average.[5] In a more positive review, a critic from Dinamalar wrote that "All in all, if the first half had been a blast, Kolakalam would have been a blast!!"[6]
