Critical reception

K.R. Rejeesh for Nowrunning commented, "Marupadi is an aimless and poor attempt to convey a message using overdose of family sentiments. This clichéd film hardly makes an impact on audience owing to a half-baked plot". He rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stars.[7] Deepa Soman for The Times of India stated, "With its fair share of pitfalls and loopholes, our legal justice system has been existing in our midst, to make important decisions on people lives, for long. When women are at its receiving end, the system gets a lot more skewed. Marupadi, a film by V.M. Vinu, typifies such a frightful situation, demanding some scary answers and solutions if any".[4] Filmihood.com rated the movie 3 out of 5.[8]
