==Reception==
===Critical response===
A critic from ''[[The Times of India]]'' wrote that "The film is all about Shefeek trying to create happiness in others’ lives and ultimately realising that it is important to take care of his happiness. Happiness is a perspective. Also, it's a paradox. ''Shefeekinte Santhosham'' can be added to the latter".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/shefeekkinte-santhosham/movie-review/95771910.cms|title=Shefeekkinte Santhosham Movie Review : Irony of happiness|date=25 November 2022|work=[[The Times of India]]|last=George|first=Anjana|access-date=24 October 2023|archive-date=8 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230308054343/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/shefeekkinte-santhosham/movie-review/95771910.cms|url-status=live}}</ref> A critic from ''[[onManorama]]'' wrote that "At a time when Mollywood is churning out different narratives and stories, ''Shafeekkinte Santhosham'' featuring Unni Mukundan and directed by Arun Pandalam does not make any attempt to be loud or different. Instead, the filmmaker sticks to the all too familiar terrain. Despite these, the casting, humour and twists do the trick and make the romantic comedy an entertaining watch".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.onmanorama.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/2022/11/25/shafeekkinte-santhosham-movie-review-unni-mukundan.html|title=Shafeekkinte Santhosham: Small twists, humour infuse life to a familiar tale {{!}} Movie Review|first=Princy|last=Alexander|work=[[OnManorama]]|date=25 November 2022|access-date=24 October 2023|archive-date=24 October 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231024062838/https://www.onmanorama.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/2022/11/25/shafeekkinte-santhosham-movie-review-unni-mukundan.html|url-status=live}}</ref> A critic from ''[[Indian Express]]'' rated the film {{Fraction|2.5|5}}.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://malayalam.indianexpress.com/entertainment/review/shefeekkinte-santhosham-movie-review-rating-unni-mukundan-723736/|title=Shefeekkinte Santhosham Movie Review & Rating|first=Dhanya K. |last=Vilayil|work=[[The Indian Express]]|language=ml|access-date=2024-02-11|archive-date=2023-10-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231024062839/https://malayalam.indianexpress.com/entertainment/review/shefeekkinte-santhosham-movie-review-rating-unni-mukundan-723736/|url-status=live|date=25 November 2022}}</ref> A reviewer of [[Zee News]] Says "Shefiq only wants to make everyone happy.

Shafiq's happiness is their story".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://zeenews.india.com/malayalam/movies/family-entertainer-movie-shefeekinte-santhosham-movie-first-review-unni-mukundan-and-bala-gives-an-amazing-entertaining-experience-115652 |title=Shefeekinte Santhosham Review : ഉണ്ണി മുകുന്ദന്റെ മറ്റൊരു ഹിറ്റ്; തമാശയ്ക്ക് തമാശ, വിഷമത്തിന് വിഷമം; ഷഫീക്കിന്റെ സന്തോഷം കുടുംബചിത്രം |date=25 November 2022|work=[[Zee News]]|language=ml|access-date=25 October 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221128215449/https://zeenews.india.com/malayalam/movies/family-entertainer-movie-shefeekinte-santhosham-movie-first-review-unni-mukundan-and-bala-gives-an-amazing-entertaining-experience-115652 |archive-date=28 November 2022}}</ref> Sanjith Sidhardhan from [[HT Media|OTT Play]] wrote "While Anup doesn't resort to any experiments with the storytelling format, the movie's scripts runs out of idea too fast and becomes a stretch, even with a duration of just two hours".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ottplay.com/review/shefeekkinte-santosham-movie-review-unni-mukundan-gives-it-his-all-but-the-script-runs-out-of-ideas-fast/15bbe05c6b587 |title=Shefeekkinte Santosham movie review: Unni Mukundan gives it his all but the script runs out of ideas fast|date=25 November 2022|work=[[HT Media|OTT Play]]|language=en|access-date=25 October 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221128012249/https://www.ottplay.com/review/shefeekkinte-santosham-movie-review-unni-mukundan-gives-it-his-all-but-the-script-runs-out-of-ideas-fast/15bbe05c6b587 |archive-date=28 November 2022}}</ref>
