==Reception==
''Sify.com'' said : "The plot is idiotic, as director Rajakumaran has tried to rehash his earlier film ''[[Nee Varuvai Ena]]''." and described the film as tedious.<ref name="Sify">{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/kathaludan-review-tamil-12647202.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924181820/http://www.sify.com/movies/kathaludan-review-tamil-12647202.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2015-09-24|title=Movie Review Kathaludan|access-date=2012-04-14|website=[[Sify]]}}</ref> Malathi Rangarajan from ''Hindu.com'' described the film as a neat family drama, adding that : "The screenplay is hampered mainly by lengthy, meandering dialogue that proves tiresome". She praised Murali : "For Murali the role of a soft, caring hero is a cakewalk".<ref name="Hindu">{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2003/02/21/stories/2003022101120201.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030630041243/http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/fr/2003/02/21/stories/2003022101120201.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2003-06-30|title= Kadhaludan|access-date=2012-04-14|date=2003-02-21|work=[[The Hindu]]|author=Malathi Rangarajan}}</ref> Krishna Chidambaram of ''Kalki'' wrote an average mark can be given to Rajakumaran for making the film with emphasis on the story and no huge size nonsense.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://archive.org/details/kalki2003-03-09/page/58/mode/2up|page=58|date=9 March 2003|title=காதலுடன் |first=கிருஷ்ணா |last=சிதம்பரம் |access-date=20 February 2024|magazine=[[Kalki (magazine)|Kalki]]|language=ta}}</ref> ''Chennai Online'' wrote "In this triangular love story set in a rural ambience, the director has etched the three characters finely, and given each his space. The narration moves fairly smoothly most of the time, only, there is a sense of deja vu throughout. The film has shades of the director’s earlier film ‘Nee Varuvai Ena’. While the final scene reminds one of a Vikraman film ending. Some of the lines are meaningful, but then it becomes a little too sermonising at times".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chennaionline.com/Moviereviews/tammov250.asp|title=Kadhaludan|website=Chennai Online|access-date=27 October 2024|first=Malini|last=Mannath|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031211212555/http://chennaionline.com/Moviereviews/tammov250.asp|archive-date=11 December 2003|date=21 February 2003}}</ref>
