A reviewer from The Hindu wrote "films such as Penngal are required to make us a little more conscious of the social problems but they should be made with a little more care and sensitivity". The critic added "one must commend the director for taking on such a theme", as "he brings to focus every aspect of these women's miserable existence - the desperation and dejection on the faces when a son is born, the fear when their young daughter is forcefully `readied' for the `occasion', the poverty and the diseases and the ostracism from the rest of the world".[5]
