Critics at a glance
123telugu.com: 2.25/5
"On the whole, Haiku is a disappointing romantic drama, despite okay performances from the lead pair, Aegan and Sridevi Apalla"
Also: "The weak screenplay, writing issues, underdeveloped character arcs and repetitive scenes, particularly in the second half, make it a boring watch"

"Yuvaraj Chinnasamy's Haiku is an uneven yet warm exploration of this puzzle"
Also: "Femina George and Sridevi are terrific, effortlessly overshadowing Aegan. His poker face serves the film's purpose of having Mano schooled by Femina's Nivetha and Sridevi's Pavazhakodi at different points in his life"

Mathrubhumi English: 1.5/5
"Haiku' is a gentle, well-meaning film that says life does not end with a breakup, and that understanding why the first love failed is the way to make the next one better"
Also: "The problem is the story. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, and little moments pile up, just as they do in every romantic comedy of this type"
