Few silly gags but also some rollicking fun
Packed with genuinely funny moments, Peechaankai is one of the better comedy films to have come out in recent times. If Ashok is a little more hard on himself he probably would be able to give us some side-splitting films in the future.(more)

With the limited production value, Peechaankai is a fun watch!
There are two ways to convey the story, either a serious path or a fun filled humorous ride. The makers have chosen the second part, like Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom. Ashok's creative thinking and writing have come in as a plus for the movie. Though you might feel the limited production value during the start of the movie, it begins to fade out, as the movie progresses, as the humour in the screenplay dominates it.(more)

Watchable crime comedy
Though the film entertains us, the slow paced screenplay in the second half tests our patience but considering the young team, we can overlook such minor flaws. The bottom line is Peechankai is a watchable crime comedy and it's a decent attempt by the young team(more)

Peechankai Movie Review
Peechankai is an expanded version of Ashok�s short film, and there are times when you can see the story being stretched. And after a point, the plot seems to be running in circles with no end in sight. But this is mainly because there is one sub-plot too many. In addition to Smoothu�s romance, we have the enmity between Nallathambi and Uthaman, and also a kidnapping by Gaja�s gang. All these make the film longer than it should be. And some of the humour is just juvenile. The film thinks that people still find rhyming comedy, like substituting underwear for android, and selvi for selfie, funny.(more)

The left comes to power
Director Ashok skilfully steers this situation into humour zone � and that clearly works in favour of Peechankai. He's adequately aided in this pursuit by music composer Balamurali Balu whose quirky background score matches each character and situation. There are downsides � too many sub-plots and some moments that lag far more than they should � but Peechankai does manage to sustain interest.(more)
