Reception
Shruti Indira Lakshminarayana from Rediff.com scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Rathnavelu's camerawork adds charm to the song, as well as the second half of te film. Watch Kool if you must. And just like the film, the makers leave it to the audience to figure out why the film has been called so! Kool promised to come as a summer respite but instead adds to the heat".[3] A critic from The New Indian Express wrote "The technical crew has done their job perfectly, but nothing can be recognised much because of a bad story. ‘Kool’ fails to bring in some cool breeze in this hot summer. At the most it is just an average affair".[4] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote "Ganesh attempts too many things in this film, making it a mess of everything.He sings, co-writes dialogues, gets his wife to produce the movie. Unwarranted and avoidable. Not Kool at all".[5]
