Kudos to @dhanushkraja for capturing the essence of youth so beautifully. It will resonate with anyone who's ever experienced the ups and downs of growing up. Kudos to the cast as well!!!”

Dhanush responded to Arun Matheeswaran’s compliment with a tweet of his own. He said, “Thank you so much Arun. We are so glad you liked NEEK.”

Every life’s extreme happiness is through the innocence of love!! And Director @dhanushkraja sirrr has brought this emotion alive in his craft!! Congratulations to the entire team of #NEEK.”

Earlier, actor and director S J Suryah too had showered the film with praise. Soon after watching the film, S J Suryah showered both the film and its director with praise, saying the film was emotional, funny and yet unique.
