Reception
[edit]Swathi P Ajith of Onmanorama wrote, "The film's strong point lies in the seamless blend of its technical elements. Both the cinematography and the background score are exceptional, adding to the overall impact. With a crisp runtime of under two hours, the film keeps the audience engaged by skillfully balancing humour with its underlying thriller vibe".[5] Rohit Panikker of Times Now rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote, "Njan Kandatha Sare is a fun, breezy watch that begins well, but fails to keep the momentum or the interest going because of an inconsistent screenplay, one that did not even allow a plethora of fantastic cast members a chance at contribute".[6] Sanjith Sidhardhan of OTTplay rated the film 1.5/5 and wrote, "Everything about Njan Kandatha Sare screams that it doesn't warrant a theatre or OTT viewing, from its lazy screenplay to its music that seems to be made from default audio tones on cellphones. The only place where it could find viewers would be TV, maybe a decade ago".[7]
