			==Reception==
			===Critical reception===
			[[The Times of India]] rated the film 2/5 stars and characterised ''Praise the Lord'' as a glossy appearance that vainly tries to mask a weak story, and the narrative is "over-populated with scenes and sequences and actors seldom being just to the lovable characters on the book." Mammootty's performance was considered "wasted" in the poor narrative; Reenu Mathews's performance seemed "off guard." The narrative is described as "dull, faded," lacking flow and rhythm, while also noting that it fails to capture the "blissful comic strain" of the book.<ref>{{cite news \|author=<!-- not stated --> \|date=11 April 2016 \|title=Praise the Lord Movie Review {2/5}: Critic Review of Praise the Lord by Times of India \|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/praise-the-lord/movie-review/32550954.cms \|work=[[The Times of India]] \|access-date=4 October 2025}}</ref>
