Film critic Sajesh Mohan, writing for Onmanoramas Cinemascape column, described Perumani as "a fantasy village that feels uncomfortably real," noting that the film "mirrors present-day India through its satirical treatment of class divisions, religion, and superstition," and praising Vinay Forrt's performance as Nassar, comparing it to Thalathil Dineshan from Vadakkunokkiyantram (1989).
