Reception
[edit]A critic from Nowrunning wrote that "To sum up, “Hridayathil Sookshikkan” is an avoidable film by all parameters".[6] A critic from webindia123 wrote that "The story doesn't have any originality and has some similarity to the English movie Meet The Parents. The movie pretends to be about a love story of a young couple but the director keeps that theme on the surface and brings in a family drama which spoils the whole thing. It is a silly movie with a silly theme".[7]
