Reception
Chennai Online wrote "The script is a rehash of some earlier films. While the first half is a rehash of 'Mujhse Shadi Karogi?', the second part is clearly inspired by 'Kal Ho Na Ho'. If there is a paucity of story ideas, one doesn't mind the adaptations and rehashes. Only, the director (his third film) could have put in a bit of his own effort too and tried to bring in a freshness in the presentation. 'Nanbanin Kadhali' is a lacklustre affair."
