Reception[]
Critical response[]
Anna Mathews in their review for the The Times of India, gave the film a 3.5/5 rating and stated: "Bheemante Vazhi is a sweet entertainer that audiences will enjoy, thanks to characters and situations they can identify with and laugh over."[10]
Aswin Bharadwaj of Lensmen Reviews gave the film a positive review and stated "Ashraf Hamza's Bheemante Vazhi is an entertainer with different layers. It achieves an emotional angle through the characters. And there is this satiric angle we feel through the premise. And the combination of these two perspectives makes it an engaging comedy that stays with you."[11]
Arun George of OnManorama gave the film a 3/5 rating in their review titled "Kunchacko Boban's Bheemante Vazhi cuts a predictable path into an everyday issue..."[12]
In their review for Cinema Express, Sajin Shrijith described the film as a "lighthearted drama elevated by some clever moments" and states that "the film makes up for whatever shortcomings it has in the few highs accompanying the second and third acts."[13]
