Anjana George of [[The Times of India]] gave the film 4 stars out of 5 and praised the film as "Showcasing a mélange of beautiful visuals, thumping music and natural performances, Angamaly Diaries is one of the more fresh and terrific attempts made by a filmmaker of late in Mollywood Film." She added, "Chemban has weaved in the dialect, food, music and culture of the people in Angamaly to the plot, paying careful attention to every intricate detail, while making it an engaging movie."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/angamaly-diaries/movie-review/57449113.cms|title=Angamaly Diaries Movie Review|work=[[The Times of India]]|accessdate=3 March 2017}}</ref> Anna MM Vetticad of [[Firstpost]] also gave it 4 stars out of 5 and called it as a "delightful, unexpectedly hilarious take on the squalid underbelly of Kerala’s Angamaly town.". She added, "If ever there was an example of the committed cinephile’s dictum “it is not the story but the treatment that makes a film”, you have it here. Because if you think about it, Angamaly Diaries – funny and insightful in equal measure – does not have a story in the conventional sense, yet that, among so many other reasons, is what makes it brilliant."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/angamaly-diaries-movie-review-whattefun-this-is-black-comedy-at-its-best-3330750.html|title=Angamaly Diaries movie review: Whattefun!

The ceaseless squabbles for honour, money and might render it a land with almost dystopian proportions, where a terrifyingly realistic tale of subsistence unfurls."<ref>{{cite news|title=Angamaly Diaries Malayalam Movie Review|url=http://veeyen.com/film-reviews/angamaly-diaries-2017-malayalam-movie-review-veeyen/|accessdate=4 March 2017|publisher=Veeyen Unplugged|date=4 March 2017}}</ref> [[Baradwaj Rangan]] of Film Companion South wrote "Like last year’s Kannada blockbuster Kirik Party, Angamaly Diaries is proof that these relatively under-the-radar upstart films are making far better use of mainstream tropes – fights, songs, comedy – than your average mega-budget big-star vehicle...like Premam, Angamaly Diaries places a certain kind of small-town, short-fused masculinity under a microscope. Men are defined by their actions – and I’m not just talking about the action sequences."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/angamaly-diaries-movie-review/|title=Angamaly Diaries Movie Review|publisher=[[Film Companion]]|date=14 March 2017}}</ref>
