Soumya Rajendran wrote in her review for [[The News Minute]] - "It's lovely to see Manju Warrier and Mohanlal romancing on screen. The couple shares a palpable chemistry and the best scenes in the film undoubtedly belong to their shared moments. Although a brief role, Manju lights up the screen and the relationship between them comes across as genuine even though neither character is defined beyond a few broad strokes."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Rajendran |first1=Sowmya |title='Villain' Review: Mohanlal is all style but the film lacks substance |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/villain-review-mohanlal-all-style-film-lacks-substance-70643 |access-date=1 September 2019 |work=The News Minute |date=27 October 2017}}</ref>

In 2018, Manju appeared in the lead role in the [[Kamala Surayya]] biopic ''[[Aami]]''. Manjusha Radhakrishnan of [[Gulf News]] wrote in her review - "Warrier enters the frame much later, but seamlessly takes on the role of a woman on the cusp of a quarter-life crisis. The actress is in total command here. Surayya isn't an easy woman to play, but Warrier make her eccentricities alluring and charming."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gulfnews.com/going-out/movie-reviews/aami-film-review-manju-warrier-gives-powerful-performance-1.2185045|title='Aami' film review: Manju Warrier gives powerful performance|website=gulfnews.com}}</ref> Manoj Kumar R of [[The Indian Express]] complimented Manju delivered a 'knockout performance' - "It is, indeed, impressive to watch Manju Warrier play the role of a conflicted woman.

Her next release was the much-hyped fantasy drama [[Odiyan]], in which she appeared alongside [[Mohanlal]] and [[Prakash Raj]] sporting different looks throughout the movie. In her review for [[Firstpost]], [[Anna M. M. Vetticad]] said, "Warrier is uniformly good as the lonesome, long-suffering Prabha who has always known that her fate was written the moment she was born into a particular social class and often summons up the spirit to defy that written word."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/odiyan-movie-review-mohanlals-transformed-physique-manju-warrier-are-usps-of-a-reasonably-watchable-mytho-fantasy-5730951.html|title=Odiyan movie review: Mohanlal's transformed physique, Manju Warrier are USPs of a reasonably watchable mytho-fantasy- Entertainment News, Firstpost|date=14 December 2018|website=Firstpost}}</ref> Odiyan earned the highest opening-day collection for a film at Kerala box office and for a Malayalam film at worldwide box office.

Her performance in the film was considered to be the strongest in recent times with both critics and audiences showering praises. Complimenting her, Soumya Rajendran wrote in her review, "Manju Warrier is blessed with an extremely expressive face, and when she's upset, you can actually see her nostrils quiver. There's one scene when her face collapses as she hears Bobby's (Vivek Oberoi's) response to a question she poses, and you can see just what an actor can bring to the table when she knows her job."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Rajendran |first1=Sowmya |title='Lucifer' review: An unabashed fanboy tribute to Mohanlal |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/lucifer-review-unabashed-fanboy-tribute-mohanlal-99096 |access-date=1 September 2019 |work=The News Minute |date=28 March 2019 |archive-date=29 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190329142848/https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/lucifer-review-unabashed-fanboy-tribute-mohanlal-99096 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Manjusha Radhakrishnan said in her review for [[Gulf News]] - "To watch top Malayali talent Manju Warrier as a grieving daughter of a political leader, who dies suddenly, leaving a political vacuum in her family and her political outfit, is pure gold. Warrier as a troubled mother and wife Priyadarshani – who unearths a string of dark secrets within her family circles – is heartbreaking. In limited screen-time, she comes across as a paragon of vulnerability and strength – an indication to the strength of her acting prowess."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gulfnews.com/entertainment/south-indian/lucifer-review-strictly-for-mohanlal-fans-1.62967751|title='Lucifer' review: Strictly for Mohanlal fans|website=gulfnews.com}}</ref>
