==Reception==
A critic from ''[[The Times of India]]'' opined that "The tale of love and revenge gives you a haunting feel. Most of the actor don't have much to do and seem wasted in blink-and-miss roles".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/appavam-veenjum-bodyblood/movie-review/47705593.cms|title=Appavum Veenjum Review|date=12 June 2015|work=The Times of India|access-date=3 June 2022|archive-date=19 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180519072414/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/appavam-veenjum-bodyblood/movie-review/47705593.cms|url-status=live}}</ref> Padmakumar K. of ''[[Manorama Online]]'' said that "the musical score, both background and the songs, by Ouseppachan is a pleasant surprise. The lush locales, perfect sound design and an off-beat treatment make Appavum Veenjum a blissful experience".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/appavum-veenjum-emotionally-intriguing.html|title=Appavum Veenjum: Emotionally intriguing|date=13 June 2015|last=K.|first=Padmakumar|work=Manorama Online|access-date=3 June 2022|archive-date=8 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191108000610/https://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/appavum-veenjum-emotionally-intriguing.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
