=== Box office ===
As of 9 March 2019, the film has grossed more than {{INR|12 crore}} in India. It was made on a budget of {{INR|5 crore}}.<ref name="gross">{{Cite web|url=https://www.ibtimes.co.in/omar-lulu-lashes-out-priya-prakash-varrier-says-he-not-touch-actress-793486|title=Omar Lulu lashes out at Priya Prakash Varrier, says he is not in touch with actress|first=Nirmal|last=Narayanan|date=9 March 2019|website=International Business Times, India Edition}}</ref>

=== Critical reception ===
S.R. Praveen of ''[[The Hindu]]'' stated "Oru Adaar Love on a Valentine’s day seems to be the handiwork of the culture police, for love hardly ever got such a shabby treatment on screen. If only a wink could save this experiment in mediocrity", referring to a scene from a song in the movie where the lead female actor winks, that went viral on the internet before the movie's release.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/oru-adaar-love-review-an-experiment-in-mediocrity/article26283386.ece|title='Oru Adaar Love' review: An experiment in mediocrity|website=The Hindu|date=2019-02-14|access-date=2019-12-06}}</ref>
''[[The Times of India]]'' gave 2.5 out of 5 stars, stating: "Oru Adaar Love seems like a quickly put together movie trying to cash in on the rather unexpected publicity that came its way. There are unpredictable twists in the tale, however, that may keep viewers hooked till the end."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/oru-adaar-love/movie-review/67991076.cms|title=ORU ADAAR LOVE MOVIE REVIEW|website=Times of India|date=2019-02-14|access-date=2019-12-06}}{{Rating|2.5|5}}</ref>
''[[India Today]]'' gave 2 out of 5 stars, stating: "Oru Adaar Love's lacklustre story and underdeveloped character arcs struggle hard to entertain the audience throughout the film."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/reviews/story/oru-adaar-love-movie-review-roshan-abdul-steals-the-show-in-priya-prakash-varrier-film-1456091-2019-02-14|title=Oru Adaar Love Movie Review: Roshan Abdul and Noorin are stars in Priya Prakash Varrier film|website=India Today|date=2019-02-14|access-date=2019-12-06}}{{Rating|2|5}}</ref>

''[[The News Minute]]'' gave 1 out of 5 stars, stating: "The film appears to say that the wrongs that men do aren’t really all that wrong.

''[[Times Now]]'' gave 2 out of 5 stars, stating: "The film does no justice to the title but you can watch it to reminisce about your high school days and your first crushes.

''[[The Week (Indian magazine)|The Week]]'' gave 1 out of 5 stars, stating: "One of the oft used cliches when reviewing a movie is 'old wine in new bottle'.

''[[CNN-News18]]'' gave 2 out of 5 stars, stating: "Everything has been planned conveniently to suit a violent ending. What could have turned into an engaging tale of teenage realisation ends up nowhere. It’s a lost opportunity."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.news18.com/news/movies/oru-adaae-love-movie-review-priya-prakash-varriers-viral-wink-goes-in-vain-2036387.html|title=Oru Adaar Love Movie Review: Priya Prakash Varrier's Viral Wink Goes In Vain|website=News18|date=2019-02-14|access-date=2019-12-06}}{{Rating|2|5}}</ref>
''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave 2 out of 5 stars, stating: "Oru Adaar Love has no plot as such except for a predictable romantic triangle that plays out between Priya Prakash Varrier, Roshan Abdul Rahoof and Noorin Shereef. The point the film tries to make hasn’t been fleshed out fully to last a two-hour long narration. The entire movie feels like one big set up to achieve a moment that’s fashioned to make the audience sob."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/oru-adaar-love-movie-review-priya-prakash-varrier-rating-5584130/|title=Oru Adaar Love movie review: Where's the plot?|website=The Indian Express|date=2019-02-14|access-date=2019-12-06}}{{Rating|2|5}}</ref>
''Sify'' gave 2 out of 5 stars, stating: "Oru Adaar Love provides some unexpected surprises but you would require real patience to sit through until then. It’s a no brainer, often offensive school kid romance that uses every technique to entertain. If that is your idea of fun, you may find this one fine."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.sify.com/movies/oru-adaar-love-review-low-brow-entertainer-review-malayalam-tcovvehjbhfec.html|title=Oru Adaar Love review: Low brow entertainer|website=Sify|date=2019-02-14|access-date=2019-12-06}}{{Rating|2|5}}</ref>
==Climax==
Initially, the original climax of the movie ended with Roshan getting killed by the attackers and Gadha getting assaulted. But the scene was poorly received by the audience and the climax was reshot with Roshan and Gaadha’s friends coming to their rescue which lead to a happier ending for the movie.
