Critical reception

Times of India stated, "The debutant filmmakers take the audience for a reasonably-wondrous trip into the maze of its story, filled with mystery and revelations. … The film is a decent watch." [2] Mollywood times stated, "Altogether, 32aam Adhyayam 23aam Vaakyam is a gift that wrapped neatly and skillfully with suspense." [3] Ytalkies stated that the film is "a watchable thriller, fairly well-made … could have been better if it was a bit faster … [and had] decent performances". [4] Nowrunning stated, "'32aam Adhyaayam 23aam Vaakyam' fails to shake off the awkwardness and plasticity that makes it a leap to nowhere." [5] Indiaglitz stated, "It lacks something vital, and one feels a forcing of circumstances to give it a mysterious air. This is the movie's undoing, but '32 aam adhyayam 23 aam vakyam' is surely a once time enjoyable watch." [6] Muyals.com rated the movie 3.25 out of 5 and stated, "32aam Adhyayam 23aam Vaakyam stands as a good, as well as unexpected thriller movie; with an above average first half and an unexpected take off to a higher level in the latter half." [7] Chandra Mohan Gopinath of Movie Street stated, "the movie doesn't fall flat but end up as an average one". [8]
