Reception
[edit]Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "The film drags you through 140 minutes of village squabbling only to resolve everything with supernatural intervention [...] Paramasivan Fathima is the kind of film that thinks adding ghosts to rural conflicts automatically makes them interesting. It doesn't."[14] Akshay Kumar of Cinema Express gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Unfortunately, the film has no redeeming factors, either in the performances or the screenplay front, even keeping aside the propaganda. It is a contest between bad cinematic language and the worst political message."[15]
