Yaaruda Mahesh is strictly meant for youngsters
The movie is rated 'A' and rightly so. Director Madhan Kumar has made a script that completely relies on double entendres and although they work out most of the times, one might feel it is overdone. The screenplay is treated in a light-hearted way and youngsters might find it engaging.(more)

Comedy in parts
Yaaruda Mahesh is a unidirectional product that targets youth with liberal does of adult humor but is not powerful enough to sustain the interests through the entire length of the film. Yaaruda Mahesh certainly has not lived up to the expectations generated by the trailer.(more)

It is one-time watch for youths
The first half of Yaaruda Mahesh is good and it makes youths to believe that the film is a paisa-vasool affair. The crass jokes keep coming regularly and makes the audience laugh every few minute. (more)

If double-meaning, adult jokes are your cup of tea, you will enjoy this movie
This is not to say that the movie does not have its moments. Jagan, after his negative turn in the recent movie Vathikuchi, is in terrific form and shares a very good rapport with Sundeep. Their drunken antics are hilarious, and Jagan's expressions and dialogue delivery are bang on. Shiva's attempts to hunt for Mahesh are also narrated in an engaging manner. But the movie falls victim to its pace, one reason being the songs that keep interrupting its flow.(more)

The film is meant for the youth audiences
The first half of the film is quite enjoyable with a lot of adult jokes, but in the second half, as the hero searches for the heroine's ex-lover it starts losing steam. Most of the jokes fall flat as they are repeated and screenplay goes haywire. And audiences can predict the climax which is a big let down.(more)

Scrappily made. Mildly tolerable
The plot, such as it is, kicks in at interval point, when Shiva is seen wearing a T-shirt patterned with a question mark - reflecting the title of R Madhan Kumar's Yaaruda Mahesh. We're meant to wonder, along with Shiva, who Mahesh is - but the film isn't terribly invested in this revelation. It's more interested in following the current trend in Tamil cinema, which is to clear aside character and plot development in favour of a wisecrack per minute.(more)
