Vala: Story of a Bangle

Anandu Suresh of The Indian Express rated the film 2/5 stars, praising the performance of the cast, "good stunt" choreography, cinematography, and editing, which executed the three physical altercation scenes.

Shilpa Nair Anand of The Hindu stated that Vala: Story of a Bangle "fails to capitalise on an interesting idea." She praised the cast performances, but criticised that the characters lacked depth.

Ajith of Onmanorama stated that Vala: Story of a Bangle is "a gleaming idea dulled by uneven execution." The film's tone "often tips to melodrama", which makes the audience distant.

Vivek Santhosh of Cinema Express gave the film 1.5/5 stars and wrote, "What begins as a quirky mystery around an ancient bangle soon collapses into sluggish pacing, tone-deaf writing and a laboured morality tale few will care about."
