ETimes rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote, “Dijo Jose Antony's Malayalee From India is a well intentioned film with the makings of something that could have done wonders in terms of political commentary or even addressing the root of some of the social issues. But, somewhere the control over the story and the scale of it is lost, leading to an underwhelming climax which was more for the gallery than anything. That said, Nivin Pauly has once again given a good performance which was wild and unhinged when necessary and grounded when that was required. 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.”
