Reception
[edit]Ouseppinte Osiyathu received positive reviews from critics.
Vivek Santhosh of The New Indian Express gave 3/5 and wrote "Ouseppinte Osiyathu is less about the crime at its centre and more about the weight of unspoken guilt, the power dynamics within a fractured family and the suffocating nature of long-held grievances. It may not cater to those expecting high-stakes twists and turns, but for viewers willing to immerse themselves in its emotional intensity, the film offers a rewarding experience despite the missteps in the former hour."[14] Gopika I. S. of The Times of India gave 3/5 and wrote "Ouseppinte Osiyathu is a powerful, thought-provoking film that could have been even more impactful with some narrative tightening."[15] Divya P. of OTTPlay gave 3/5 and wrote "Dileesh Pothan and Kalabhavan Shajohn drive this film with their layered performances, resting hugely on Fazal Hassan's writing. Though the key plot point looks jarring and raises some questions, Ouseppinte Osiyathu quickly moves past it to deliver a fairly engaging film."[16] Pricy Alexander of Malayala Manorama wrote "'Ouseppinte Osiyathu' balances suspense and emotion in a high-range setting."[17]
