Reception

edit

Princy Alexander of Onmanorama wrote that "However, 'Thrisanku' could have done better if the makers had tapped a little into the depth of emotions between the lovers."[10] S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote that "This Anna Ben-Arjun Ashokan film is a reasonably fun ride that pokes fun at traditionalists."[11] Anna MM Vetticad of Firstpost gave 2.75 out of 5 stars and stated that "Thrishanku’s best-written characters though are Chandran who is a conservative religionist and casteist"[12]

Sajin Shrijith of Cinema Express gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "It doesn't have any lofty goals, but it always maintains a light tone. It's just light escapism entertainment. It doesn't have much depth to be shown."[13] Sanjith Sidhardhan of OTTplay gave it 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Though the film is less than two hours long, it feels stretched since many subplots connected to the characters' main journey do not have the expected effect. The film also has a drab visual presentation that doesn't help the comic components, notably in the scenes set at the Mangalore lodge."[14]

Cris of The News Minute gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Over all, Achyuth should be commended for coming up with the story. It's hardly a thrill-ride storyline, and it's far from realistic. The plot has holes, particularly Sumi's half-baked story. However, if the makers intended for the movie to be fun, it does work."[15]
