Critical reception

Deccan Chronicle wrote, "Kudos to director Viji for coming out with a clean film for children that is devoid of double entendre." [16] Indian Express wrote, "On the whole, Ezhumin gives us an experience akin to watching our kids perform in a stage play. Though the story isn't flawless, the acting isn't world class and the production value isn't that great, as the curtain goes down, we cheer for them, forgetting the blemishes because we know that the kids have done their best." [17] Times of India wrote "The movie, though offers some relevant advices about the safety of children and women, is too preachy at times. Overall, Ezhumin has only little to offer." [18]
