Reception



Critical response

'The Times of India' rated the film 4 on a scale of 5, noting that the film is "a thought-provoking political drama", and that the success of the film is in "how it does not support any ideology, but shows a mirror to the problems in both political parties, and is not pedantic while doing so."[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/

Praveen wrote that the director Jibu Jacob is "on the lookout for that perfect balance between a family drama and a political commentary" like in his earlier film 'Vellimoonga', but "take the light-heartedness, humour, and engaging script out of that film ['Vellimoonga'], and you would be left with 'Ellam Sheriyakum'."[https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/hardly-anything-goes-right-for-this-movie/article37588739.ece "Hardly anything goes right for this movie"]. 'The Hindu'. 19 November 2021. Retrieved 21 November 2021. 'Malayala Manorama' rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote: "A stale plot, unconvincing situations and sloppy scripting is the bane of formulaic filmmaking. 'Ellam Sheriyakum', roughly translated as 'everything will be all right', fails to tackle all of these common errors."[https://www.onmanorama.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/2021/11/19/ellam-sheriyakum-movie-asif-ali-rajisha-vijayan-movie-review-rating-updates.html "Ellam Sheriyakum review: Sprinkling of politics with a dash of familial bonding in a lacklustre drama"]. 'Malayala Manorama'. 19 November 2021. Retrieved 21 November 2021. Sowmya Rajendran of 'The News Minute' rated the film with 2 stars out of 5 and was critical of screenplay stating, "[it] is overstuffed with too many issues bordering on caricature".

Concluding, she wrote, "Maybe on paper everything sounded great, but what the audience witnesses and understands is a total misfire".
