Reception

Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "All said and done, Romeo falters at being a romantic film with a lead pair to root for. It tries to be both Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Kaavalan but imbibes the illogicality of those films rather than its conviction.[24] Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu wrote that "Nevertheless, Romeo is a much-needed deviation from Vijay Antony’s recent duds and makes for a decent watch with its fine share of emotionally gratifying moments".[25] Jayabhuvaneshwari B of Cinema Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "At the end of the day, Romeo has a happy ending that makes for a quality family watch on a long weekend. And hey, at least it's not as tragic as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.[26]

Kirubhakar Purushothaman of The Indian Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote "The film purports an idea of love that is unconditional and all-giving, a concept more dated than the film itself".[27] Ram Venkat Srikar of Film Companion wrote that "The humor is clean, simple, and subtle and even though it feels overlong, it is a largely satisfying ride thanks to its neatly drawn-out emotional beats".[28]

Manigandan KR of Times Now gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Vinayak Vaithianathan's story, despite having portions that remind one of the plot of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, still emerges as a neat, engaging entertainer that works big time".[29]

Anusha Sundar of OTTplay gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "On the other hand, much more writing about these characters would have tapped into the potential this flippant love story has".[30]

Avinash Ramachandran of The South First gave 3/5 stars and wrote "But it has almost the right doses of sugar, spice, and everything nice to make us want to believe that such a romance is needed to hold together a world that is becoming cynical to a fault".[31]Ashwin Ram of Moviecrow gave 2.75/5 stars and wrote "Familiar storyline executed carefully by offering refreshing elements both in writing and treatment. Fun first half followed by a latter that feels as if it is losing track, but gets a brisk pickup after a point and ends beautifully".[32]
