==Reception==
===Critical reception===
Anjana George of ''[[The Times of India]]'' criticised the weak script, the lack of depth in Keerthy's character, the usage of conventions and stereotypes of women's identity in a patriarchal society and rated the film 2 out of 5 stars. She wrote: "The movie reveals that the film fraternity is yet to have an idea on relationships, consent, sex, abuse, assault and feminism. It's high time for male scribes who venture to feature complex female characters who contribute significantly to the story considering the market trend, to understand women, their thought on sex, life, love, marriage, feminism and companionship."<ref>{{cite news |last=George |first=Anjana |date=June 17, 2022 |title=Vaashi Movie Review: Feminism, but from the masculine point of view |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/vaashi/movie-review/92279718.cms |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=August 16, 2025}}{{Rating|2|5}}</ref> Cris of ''[[The News Minute]]'' stated that the film's script, though well-paced, lacked depth. He also stated that the court scenes and dialogues were well paced, the film does not connect much with the audience to support either of the character lawyers or explore the outcome, and felt the film "is more a relationship drama than a thriller" and writing: "'Vaashi' is tightly packed and has some lovely performances."<ref>{{cite news |author=Cris |date=June 17, 2022 |title=Vaashi review: This Keerthy-Tovino courtroom-based relationship drama is well-paced
