Reception
[edit]A critic from Sify wrote, "Youth Festival is another film with young stars that falls flat due to lack of a proper story idea and presentation. Director Jose Thomas and his script writer V.C.Ashok have borrowed from many recent Tamil films including a straight lift from the climax of Kathal Kondein".[7]
Legacy
[edit]After working in this film, Kishor Satya said that he "would accept any role he [Jose Thomas] gives, even if it is a passing shot".[8]
