Reception

The Times of India gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Marconi Mathai is a modern day sermon for love glossed over with fresh paint to look like a fairy tale. Minus a few sexual innuendos that over the years we've come to pardon Jayaram for, Maarconi Mathaai is a no-brainer, feel-good, family entertainer."[3]

Deccan Chronicle rated the film 2 out of 5 and wrote, "The film is let down by a weak script and an old storyline that has been done to death. Jayaram playing a romantic lead is a little hard to digest. Athmeeya has played her role with finesse. The music is decent and the cinematography must be mentioned specially."[4]

The Indian Express gave 1 out of 5 starts and wrote, "Maarconi Mathaai feels like a desperate attempt to please the crowd by rehashing old tricks from the how-to-make-a-superficial-feel-good-film book."[5]

gollark: Well, they wrote that in a VERY SENSIBLE PLACE.
gollark: ubq, read writing?!
gollark: OH BEE
gollark: I see.
gollark: I check the room for antimemes, d6.
