== Reception ==

=== Critical reception ===
Swathi P. Ajith, critic of ''[[Onmanorama]]'', wrote, "The movie's humour serves as a compelling element that holds it together, leading the audience to overlook its drawbacks."<ref>{{Cite web |title='Pappachan Olivilaanu' review: A film balancing quirky characters with lacklustre pace |url=https://www.onmanorama.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/2023/08/04/pappachan-olivilanu-malayalam-movie-saiju-kurup-aju-varghese-review.html |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=OnManorama}}</ref>

Anandu Suresh of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' rated the film with 0.5 stars out of 5 and stated that, "''Pappachan Olivilaanu'' is yet another Malayalam film that delves into the realm of experimentation, pushing the boundaries to see ‘how far is too far’, thus testing the patience of viewers to the very limit."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-08-04 |title=Pappachan Olivilaanu movie review: A mediocre plot dragged down even more by poor writing |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/pappachan-olivilaanu-movie-review-a-mediocre-plot-dragged-down-even-more-by-poor-writing-8876579/ |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>
