Malayalee from India

Anandu Suresh of The Indian Express wrote that, "In short, Malayalee From India is loud, irritating and underwhelming and serves as a reality check for Malayalees amidst the recent flurry of successful films".

Arjun Menon of Film Companion wrote that, "However, the execution feels far-fetched and overdrawn and this affects any sense of engagement with the film's flawed yet fascinatingly interwoven political vision".

S. of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote, "The message of the film is clear but it goes to deliver it in such a roundabout way that one would feel like they watched two different films".

Janani K of India Today gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "Throw in some Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafzai, you get 'Malayalee From India".

Latha Srinivasan of Hindustan Times wrote that, "Malayalee From India is disappointing and is not the comeback that the talented Nivin Pauly deserves".

Rashmi Kuttan of Asianet Newsable wrote that, "The anticipation is palpable, especially after Nivin's impressive cameo in Varshangalkku Shesham alongside Dhyan Sreenivasan.

Rohit Panikker of Times Now gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "If anything, this film is saved by some relatable moments of humour, a little bit of bold political statements, and a solid performance by Nivin Pauly".

Praveen of The Hindu wrote that, "Some subtlety and an organic narrative could have gone a long way into turning this into a much more relevant film than it is now".

Sanjith Sidhardhan of OTTPlay gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote, "Whether you are a fan of political satires or entertainers, this Nivin Pauly-starrer has enough to keep you entertained in theatres".
