Review:
"Kaaki Sattai" has been praised for its entertaining content. Sivakarthikeyan's performance has been appreciated by all section of audience. But many feel that the story runs on a predictable path and comedy, at parts, does not work. However, Anirudh Ravichander's music and background score along with Sukumar's cinematography are other highlights of the film.
