Reception
Sudhir Srinivasan of The Hindu criticised the underutilisation of various actors and the scarcity of good jokes, adding, "for almost 40 minutes into the first half, there’s no indication of a ghost, leading you to wonder if you’ve stepped into the wrong film". M Suganth of The Times of India wrote "Hello Naan Pei Pesuren (HNPP) is a ghost movie but director Baskar is more interested in mining laughs than scares, and somehow, this approach actually benefits the film. The fact that HNPP manages to click even though horror comedies have become quite common these days should tell you how effective the comedy is."
