Reception

A critic from Rediff gave the film a rating of one-and-half out of five stars and stated that "But halfway through Tananam Tananam, you realise Kavitha Lankesh has derailed the story, and nothing really works in favour of the film".[8] A critic from The Hindu gave the film a negative review and cited that "nothing is right about Tananam Tananam".[9] A critic from Sify opined that "Kavitha Lankesh, touted to be an intelligent director, this time falls flat with Thananam Thananam as the film lacks a new story and the film is lengthy and slow moving".[10]
