Santhanam reprised the special guest appearance by Kamal Haasan. ''Thillu Mullu'' received mostly positive critical response. M. Suganth of ''The Times of India'' gave 3.5/5 and said, "Much of the credit for this (film) should go to director Badri, whose script clearly suggests that some amount of thought has gone into reworking a cult classic for present-day audiences. Instead of going for a scene by scene remake, he manages to spin newer situations that make it very much a film of our times."
