Reception
A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Amid the unrealistic, just-titillation-no-plot Tamil films that are churned out every week, Righta Thappa will definitely stand out. There is no crude comedy, no action, no violence; you see only real emotions".[5] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote that the film is "A must-see for the youth and parents of today!"[6][7][8]
