Reception
Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Sotta Sotta's problem is not necessarily the idea. You can make a sharp comedy from something as everyday as male pattern baldness. The problem is the writing, which works top-down. [...] Sotta Sotta wants to be relatable. It forgets that a good narrative and characters come before platforms."[3] Jayabhuvaneshwari B of Cinema Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Sotta Sotta Naniyuthu loses the plot faster than losing hair, only to come back to baldness struggles towards the end of the film, by which time you forget about the hair, or lack thereof. The film also struggles with patchy writing, as scenes are put together with no segue or coherence."[4]
Dina Thanthi wrote that Naveed S. Fareed draws attention with moving scenes that humorously portray the painful lives of those living with bald heads.[5] Hindu Tamil Thisai wrote that although many people have hair problems traditionally, the film does not delve deeply into the fact that hair problems are a problem caused by work pressure, lifestyle, and diet for most of today's youth; instead, the film makes you soak in humorous advice.[6]
