Reception

Critical reception

The film received an average response from the critics.[26][27] S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote "The character building and context setting by Murphy Devassy in the first half is wasted as the movie pivots to become a slasher-home invasion thriller."[5] Gopika ls of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and stated "Murphy Devasy's debut Nalla Nilavulla Rathri is a watchable movie with some moments of brilliance sprinkled all over. After an interesting build up in first half, the second half was a rollercoaster, which fizzled down towards the end."[28]

Anandu Suresh of The Indian Express rated the film with 0.5 stars out of 5 and said "Nalla Nilavulla Rathri can be seen as a slasher film; however, the only thing it truly slashes is the viewers' bank balances, particularly when the month-end is here."[6] Princy Alexander of Onmanorama wrote "Had makers toned down the violence and focused more on creating a convincing narrative, 'Nala Nilavulla Rathri' would have been a better watch."[29] Arjun Ramachandran of The South First gave the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Nalla Nilavulla Raathri is a thriller that loses its pace at a point but manages to entertain the audience with its technical aspects."[30]
