Reception



Firstpost gave a rating of 3.25 out of 5 for the movie and stated that, "The film is not constructed as a pacey, edge-of-the-seat thriller, but instead one that appears more straightforward than it actually is and is less focused on suspense than it is on the human condition. The one who steals the show in 'Innale Vare' though is Nimisha Sajayan who is simultaneously oily and scared, terrified yet determined."

Dhanya K. Vilayil of 'The New Indian Express' gave a rating of 2.5 of 5 and wrote that, "Innale Vare gives an average viewing experience due to the fact that the film is a predictable story for the audience. The film has brilliant performances by Asif Ali and Nimisha Sajayan. Cinematography, background music and other aspects of the film are excellent."

S. R Praveen of 'The Hindu' said that, "Jis Joys latest movie 'Innale Vare' aspires to be a dark and intelligent thriller, but fails on both counts."

Manorama News wrote that "Innale Vare is an awesome thriller with a cleanly written screenplay without much fuss. The strong performance of Asif Ali , Nimisha Sajayan and Antony Varghese is the strength of the movie".

Manjima Das of Leisure Byte said that "with an engaging story, interesting characters, crisp cinematography and editing, Jis Joy has offered the audiences a piece of dark thriller that is reflective and cautionary with its various themes".
