Reception

Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Kambi Katna Kathai coasts on familiar Tamil comedy territory without offering fresh angles, feeling somewhat like a Sundar C production stripped of glamour and polish. It avoids being outright cringeworthy, which counts for something, but rarely rises above passable weekend filler. For a film about digging up treasure, it never strikes gold."[8] Rohini M of Cinema Express gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Kambi Katna Kathai proves that small-scale comedy films with lesser-known actors can still find a place in the audience’s hearts. Despite a few moments of double-meaning humor that test patience, the film’s lighthearted narrative and situational comedy make it a pleasant entertainer — one you can laugh through and walk out smiling."[9] The film was reviewed by Maalai Malar.[10]
