The film's story revolves around Krishna Das (Balachandra Menon), a middle-aged man who resigns from the National Film Development Corporation to become a director.
Sanjith Sidhardhan of The Times of India rated the film 2/5 and said, "Balachandra Menon's comeback movie follows a familiar plot that is riddled with cliches." He concluded the review saying, "Films with familiar themes had tasted success in recent times thanks to the way they were presented and that's where Njan Samvidhanam Cheyyum falls short. The frames are lifeless and sometimes repetitive. The movie could have been a bit crisper and less tedious with some tight editing." [5] Sify.com wrote that the film is a torture asking "How can someone (the producer) spend so much money for this kind of stupidity? [6]
