Critic Consensus
Critical reception for Hello Mummy is mixed to negative, with most reviewers finding the film unable to successfully balance its horror and comedy elements. Where praise exists, it is directed at the lead performances of Sharafudheen and Aishwarya Lekshmi, and some critics acknowledge the film works as light, family-friendly entertainment for a portion of its runtime. However, the dominant criticism is that the script and direction lack tonal consistency, with the comedy largely falling flat and the horror proving ineffective, resulting in a middling overall experience.

“Sharafudheen and Aishwarya Lekshmi shine in this engaging horror-comedy.”Read full review ↗
“Horror comedies are a genre that requires a fine balance between thrills and laughs, but debutant Vaishakh Elans' Hello Mummy mostly stumbles in its attempt to [deliver on both fronts]. Sharaf's slapstick alone can't save this spiritless horror comedy.”Read full review ↗
“Hello Mummy is one of those films that struggle to find a clear tone or voice, leaving it in a constant loop of uncertainty without ever settling into something cohesive or fully engaging. From the start, Sanjo Joseph's script and Vaishakh's direction fail to deliver the comedy, only evoking weak smiles from audiences. After the introduction of Grace too, Hello Mummy fails to deliver either effective horror or comedy, remaining a middling experience overall.”Read full review ↗
“For those looking for a lighthearted and enjoyable experience, this film is a great pick. With its blend of horror, fantasy, and comedy, it's sure to appeal to younger audiences.”Read full review ↗
“Three-fourths of Hello Mummy is entertaining; the rest would be a test of patience for some folks. It is the kind of breezy film you can watch as a family.”Read full review ↗
