Reception[]
Indian internet company Sify gives Ilayaraja stars and states "Ilayaraja is a feel good tale with noble intentions. It may not perhaps cater much to those loving loud, fast paced entertainers, but has its moments that suits the family crowds."[1]
Anjana George of The Times of India also awarded the film stating "On the whole, the movie will be a treat for Malayali viewers as it has magnificently captured the essence of lives and the nature around."[3]
Writing in Cinema Express Sajin notes "A cheerful, well-acted underdog story."[4]
