The picture earned mediocre reviews from reviewers and moviegoers. director Lijo noted that they used references from many creative forms throughout the world, such as 'Amar Chitra Katha, Panchathantra tales, and other comic books. He also expressed his disappointment that 'Malaikottai Vaaliban' was regarded as 'the worst malayalam film ever made'.

He stated, "When such an attempt is made... I'm not suggesting it should be applauded... Criticism is also quite welcome... However, during the first two days after the film's release, the debates went completely awry.

Lijo went on to say that while it was OK for some to dislike the film, he thought it was unjust when they discouraged others from seeing it. "The comments that came out in the first two days sounded like, 'I did not like it, so nobody in this country should watch it' — that's the attitude some had," he said.

"Suddenly, all the personnel and all the effort they had done for the film for the past year and a half vanished, leaving just talks about the worst malayalam film ever produced. It made me really sad. That's why I took the initiative and addressed the media, something I'd never done before, explaining why people should watch the film. I didn't want people throwing stones at each other over a film. It's all yours; if you don't want to watch it, that's OK, but don't force others not to."
