Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Abraham Ozler is mixed, with most reviewers landing in the average-to-middling range. The film's strongest points, according to critics, are the performances — particularly Jayaram in the lead role and Mammootty's appearance — along with the cinematography, editing, and background score. Common criticisms center on a formulaic, clichéd plot, an uneven first half, and underdeveloped character threads that the screenplay introduces but fails to follow through on.

Updated“Despite some flaws, the film captures attention and establishes Jayaram in a significant role. 'Abraham Ozler' successfully merges medical thriller and emotional crime drama, with Jayaram delivering a commendable performance. While the film has flaws, standout performances make it a worthwhile watch for Mollywood enthusiasts.”Read full review ↗

“Ozler falls into the category of another half-baked thriller, relying on the performances of the actors and a brilliant original score. If you're a fan of thrillers and have enjoyed Midhun Manuel Thomas's previous works, Ozler might provide a decent watch.”Read full review ↗
“Midhun Manuel Thomas' film, starring Jayaram in the titular role, can be dubbed as a crime thriller that meets the essential criteria for the genre. However, the film is mostly a letdown, saved only by a revived Jayaram and You-Know-Who.”Read full review ↗
“The initial feeling of repetitiveness affects the thrills in the first half. However, true to the expression "to end with a bang," Midhun employs the right tactics in the second half to provide viewers with a more than satisfactory conclusion. Mammootty's appearance in 'Ozler' is definitely the best part of the movie.”Read full review ↗
“... The movie sure offers a cinematic experience, but is that enough?”Read full review ↗
“This generic template is one of the many boxes Abraham Ozler, written by Randheer Krishnan, ticks. For one, there is the brooding police investigator Abraham Ozler (Jayaram), who is yet to recover from the disappearance of his wife and daughter some years ago. Hallucinatory visions appear before the insomniac Ozler early on in the movie, before the scriptwriter forgets this particular facet of the character and lets him run free with the investigation.”Read full review ↗
