Reception

edit

The Times of India gave the film two stars out of five in a very mixed review.[2] Cinema Express's assessment was slightly more positive, stating in particular that "Urvashi saves an otherwise overly melodramatic film".[3] Other reviews also praised the performance of the actress,[4][5][6] Onmanorama in particular wrote, "J Baby stands out in comparison to Priyadarshan's 2023 film Appatha, where Urvashi also portrayed a mother".[7]
