==Critical reception==
Veeyen of Nowrunning.com wrote that "Aashiq Abu's go-girl tour-de-force is syrupy without ever being saccharine and tugging without ever being overwhelming. It's a film with the actress' proofed script for re-entry and strengthening of yesteryear female leads in Mollywood. It is intriguing with retrospection, and bolstered by a sharp planning and a helms a scrupulous director that can strike chords of the heart."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/16404/malayalam/rani-padmini/5260/review/|title=Rani Padmini Movie Review|agency=[[Nowrunning.com]]|date=25 October 2015|access-date=25 October 2015}}</ref> Paresh C Palicha of Rediff.com stated that the film is an entertainer, and that "director Ashiq Abu takes up the gamble of making a film with no male superstar."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/review-rani-padmini-entertains/20151024.htm|title=Rani Padmini Movie Review|agency=[[Rediff.com]]|date=23 October 2015|access-date=25 October 2015}}</ref>
