The film was released 3 February 2023 in theatres. A critic from ''[[Firstpost]]'' noted that "The conversation has zero link to the rest of ''Vedikkettu''" and gave 0.5 rating out of 5.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-02-07 |title=Vedikettu movie review: When a man stalks a woman… |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/vedikettu-movie-review-when-a-man-stalks-a-woman-12116552.html |access-date=2023-03-29 |website=Firstpost |language=en |archive-date=2023-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329090008/https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/vedikettu-movie-review-when-a-man-stalks-a-woman-12116552.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Vignesh Madhu of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' stated that " As the end credits roll, we learn that a real-life incident inspired the film. One cannot think but wonder how the writer-director duo made such a plot out of it. Commendable indeed." and gave 3.5 rating out of 5.<ref>{{Cite web |title='Vedikettu' movie review: Gratifying entertainer with a strong anti-caste tone |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2023/feb/04/gratifying-entertainer-witha-strong-anti-caste-tone-2544095.html |access-date=2023-03-29 |website=The New Indian Express |archive-date=2023-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329090011/https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2023/feb/04/gratifying-entertainer-witha-strong-anti-caste-tone-2544095.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Shilpa S critic of ''[[OTTplay]]'' wrote that "Writer-directors Vishnu Unnikrishnan and Bibin George have certainly delivered an entertaining watch in the form of Vedikettu. However, the entertainment and intrigue the first half offers is something the second half fails to provide, with the latter being plagued by a sluggish pace, predictability in its story and convoluted writing." and gave 3 out of 5 ratings.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Vedikettu review: Vishnu Unnikrishnan-Bibin George's rural entertainer is engagi |url=https://www.ottplay.com/review/vedikettu-review-vishnu-unnikrishnan-bibin-georges-rural-entertainer-is-engaging-but-takes-on-too-much-and-loses-its-way/8295566432520 |access-date=2023-03-29 |website=OTTPlay |language=en |archive-date=2023-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329090008/https://www.ottplay.com/review/vedikettu-review-vishnu-unnikrishnan-bibin-georges-rural-entertainer-is-engaging-but-takes-on-too-much-and-loses-its-way/8295566432520 |url-status=live }}</ref> ''[[ManoramaOnline]]'' and ''[[IndianExpress.com]]'' critic gave mixed reviews.<ref>{{Cite web |title=വെടിക്കെട്ടാണോ ഈ 'വെടിക്കെട്ട്'; റിവ്യൂ |url=https://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/movie-reviews/2023/02/03/vedikkettu-movie-review.html |access-date=2023-03-29 |website=ManoramaOnline |language=ml |archive-date=2023-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329090009/https://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/movie-reviews/2023/02/03/vedikkettu-movie-review.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=നിത്യ ജീവിത കാഴ്ചകളുടെ സൂക്ഷ്മ അവതരണം; 'വെടിക്കെട്ട്' റിവ്യൂ: Vedikkettu Movie Review & Rating |url=https://malayalam.indianexpress.com/entertainment/review/vedikkettu-movie-review-rating-749892/ |access-date=2023-03-29 |website=Indian Express Malayalam |language=ml |archive-date=2023-03-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329091512/https://malayalam.indianexpress.com/entertainment/review/vedikkettu-movie-review-rating-749892/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
