A Loud Satire That Is Silly At Times But Also Has Its Moments!
Buffoonery is an art and when done well can be extremely enjoyable but what we have here borders on the ridiculous. A layered film is not what we expect but there needs to be atleast a semblance of credibility in the central conflict. An extremely powerful and evil godman is reduced to being a clown. When this happens, the seriousness of the issue is also diluted. The enemy becomes too easy to defeat and you are treating a very important and prevalent social issue in the flimsiest of ways. Again, the expectation is not that we want a serious film but throughout the second half, most of what happens in the name of comedy is just hamming and mockery.(more)

No dull moment in this Nayanthara movie
Nayanthara looks regal, but it is not enough, as she takes her character too seriously. The main problem with this film is that it suffers from an identity crisis. It can't decide whether it wants to be a spoof or a serious movie. And that muddles the plot to a great extent.(more)

Nayanthara and RJ Balaji deliver a Diwali blockbuster
Mookuthi Amman lays bare the blind faith people have in godmen and also makes people question the existence of such people in society. When Ramasamy confronts Bagavathi Baba, we are reminded of Aamir Khan's PK. Mookuthi Amman stands tall as a film that takes on godmen and their illegal activities that go unnoticed. (more)

Nayanthara and Urvashi steal the show; RJ Balaji brings the house down with one-liners
Nayanthara plays the titular role effortlessly. Her terrific screen presence is the USP of the film, and the scenes which feature her stand out. Fans would badly miss watching it on the big screen. As far as performance is concerned, Urvashi steals the show. From the first scene in which she engages in a conversation with the family of a girl with whom Balaji had a marriage proposal to the climax scene in which she talks to her husband, she enthralls the viewers throughout the movie.(more)

'Amman' Nayanthara and RJ Balaji deliver an entertaining family treat this Deepavali.
The film is not without its flaws a typical TV program to question god persons, one that reminds you of Anwar Rasheed's Trance and a few preachy dialogues find their way into the movie, bringing in some monotony. You also get the feeling Balaji has held himself back a little and perhaps tried to tread a bit carefully. The nakkal is quite not all the way. (more)
