  1. KoiMoi

    Film review

    Some of the jokes don't land, and there's a high possibility that most of the audience won't understand or follow the world, nor feel any emotional attachment to the characters on screen. The script fails to help the audience form a real attachment to the characters on screen. This film is not everyone's cup of tea.

    Film review ·

    ‘Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira’ is a film that has nothing going for it. Neither Fahadh Faasil, nor Lal, nothing. And that says a lot about the film and director Althaf Salim’s work that’s gone terribly wrong.
  3. Indian Express

    Film review

    Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira is one of the most disappointing movies I have watched this year, even more so than Mohanlal's Empuraan and Rajinikanth's Coolie. The pretentious dream sequences, shallow metaphors, and unimpactful emotional moments only exacerbate the situation. Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira is an empty vessel.
  4. The Week

    Film review ·

    Many events occur in 'Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira', but little of them makes sense. If the intention was to echo the idiosyncratic vibe of a Korean rom-com or emulate Wes Anderson or Woody Allen, the attempt falls short.
