==Reception==<br />
===Critical reception===<br />
Aiswarya Sudha of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "The film’s approach of pairing social issues with everyday humour and a subtle, non-preachy message sounds good. But on screen, it rarely catches fire. The writing is the weakest link. Many situations feel real, but the twists are predictable and the fixes are too easy. The film wants to show everyday pressures and how the system fails ordinary people, but it leans on coincidences and thin reasons. So, the 'social message' feels stuck on, not grown naturally from the story."<ref>{{cite news |last=Sudha |first=Aiswarya |date=18 November 2025 |title=Innocent Movie Review: Comedy that doesn't quite click |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/innocent/movie-review/125183924.cms |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=18 November 2025}}{{Rating|2.5|5}}</ref><br />
