Reception

Sify wrote: "Rameswaram is a half-baked venture and is a major let down".^[4] The Hindu wrote:"‘Rameswaram’ has laudable technical assistance holding aloft a love line that’s run-of-the-mill".^[5] Madhumitha of Kalki praised the acting, music and cinematography but panned for focusing more on love, poor pronunciation of Sri Lanka Tamil accent from actors, weak climax and felt if the speed was shown on screenplay just like for dialogues, it would have came out even more beautifully.^[6] Chennai Online wrote "Taking a serious issue and packaging it with routine ingredients that go to make a potboiler does not always work out well. For, unless the two are suitably blended, it would end up as a film that neither entertains nor becomes a meaningful experience".^[7] Cinesouth wrote "One could commend director Chella for his good intentions in handling such a subject, but seeing him lose his way, one changes one's mind".^[8]
