Reception

The film received mixed reviews from critics. Behindwoods Review Board Says "After impressing audiences as the simple and sweet guy next door, Siva Karthikeyan is back with yet another uncomplicated tale of comedy and rural romance in Ponram's Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam (VVS). The presence of Sathyaraj is a major push to the movie while Siva's regular partner-in-crime Soori is present here too." Rated 2.75 out of 5. "There is no place for sentiments or melodrama here, as 'take it easy' entertainment seems to be the team's only motto. Worth a watch." Praising the work of the actors in the film, Indiaglitz says, "The film's biggest strength is Sathyaraj, and the climax alone is enough to show his strength. The man who has shifted gears towards character roles is doing a good job out of it. Siva again, it is a wonder to see this guy in yet another healthy fun movie." Rated 3.0 out of 5. "Soori too is still trying to win our hearts with his USP of one liners, a far stretch however is apt for a sidekick comedian." Sandesh of Oneindia says, " 'Varutha Padatha Valibar Sangam' is a full-ledged comedy and family entertainer. Actor Sivakarthikeyan, Sathyaraj and comedian Parota Soori are the main highlight of the movie." "The conflicts between the two teams are shown in a comical way and seem quite interesting. The ending is the major bonus of the movie as the fun quotient is increased altogether. But, the story could have been better if it was cut short." "When you enter a movie like VVS after looking at the promos you have a certain sort of expectation. And that is delivered satisfactorily." Says Moviecrow and Rated 3.0 out of 5 According to Sify, "Ponram through VVS follows the comedy template set by his guru Rajesh and blends them with his hero Sivakarthikeyan's image. Add D Imman's peppy melodies with a rural touch and you get a mass comedy entertainer. Movie Scoreboard (@scoreboard13 on Twitter) gave it 6/10, further saying that actor Soori was the real star of the film, and that it is just an average comic entertainer, with no real story. "IBNLive has given 3 out of 5 "you are likely to enjoy it more".[13] IBTimes review verdict is "Good Entertainer, Worth a Watch" [14]
