Reception

The Indian Express wrote, "With a little more care in scripting and editing, Manjila's Adimakal would have aptly ended there, but sometimes, even our best film-makers do not know when and where to stop. There are a few other irrelevant scenes which, if chopped off would help this Malayalam film gain in tempo and appeal."
