Reception
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. 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. 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. ManoramaOnline and IndianExpress.com critic gave a mixture of reviews.
