Critical reception
Times of India stated, "The debutant filmmakers take the audience for a reasonably-wondrous trip into the maze of its story, filled with mystery and revelations. The film is a decent watch." Mollywood times stated, "Altogether, '32aam Adhyayam 23aam Vaakyam' is a gift that wrapped neatly and skillfully with suspense." Ytalkies stated that the film is "a watchable thriller, fairly well-made could have been better if it was a bit faster [and had] decent performances". Nowrunning stated, "'32aam Adhyaayam 23aam Vaakyam' fails to shake off the awkwardness and plasticity that makes it a leap to nowhere." Indiaglitz stated, "It lacks something vital, and one feels a forcing of circumstances to give it a mysterious air. This is the movie's undoing, but '32 aam adhyayam 23 aam vakyam' is surely a once time enjoyable watch."
