Happiness") has received positive reviews from critics.

The film's plot: Gautam (Jiiva), Shri
(Vinay) and Baby (Santhanam) are childhood friends and run an advertising
agency. An incident in his childhood causes Gautham to have an
aversion towards women. All three inseparable friends vow never to get married
because Gautham does not believe in the concept of love. However, Gautham's
attitude brings a rift between him and his friends. What happens next forms the
crux of the story.
"Endrendrum

and Andrea appear as female leads. The other cast members include Nassar,
T.M.Karthik, Abhinay and Varsha Ashwathi.
"The
film works to a large extent because of the inherent optimism in the plot and
the sheer good-naturedness of its characters. First and foremost
Jiiva-Santhanam-Vinay friendship and bonding looks real and there is perfect
on-screen vibe between the trio."
"The love track of Jiiva and Trisha their initial
reluctance followed by fleeting eye contacts slowly heats up, you can feel the
love temperature rising. The heroines Trisha and Andrea are not mere eye candy
their characters has been well etched. The father (Nassar)-son (Jiiva)
emotional mine field has been shown without any melodrama."
"It's evident that the film's main motive is to give you a
good time, but it's commendable that writer-director I Ahmed chose to weave a
message into the story. Watch it because it's the season to be jolly, and good
laughs are guaranteed."
"Endrendrum Punnagai is a predictable,
under-achieving RomCom with a very unlikable lead character."
