Shilpa Nair Anand, critic of ''[[The Hindu]]'', wrote, "With its multiple plotlines and many characters, debutant director CC’s movie seems more like a series of episodes than a cohesive narrative."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nair Anand |first=Shilpa |date=2023-08-04 |title=‘Corona Dhavan’ movie review: Malayalam liquor comedy has its moments, but fails to make an impact |language=en-IN |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/corona-dhavan-movie-review-malayalam-liquor-comedy-has-its-moments-but-fails-to-make-an-impact/article67157968.ece |access-date=2023-08-11 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

Vignesh Madhu of [[The New Indian Express|''The New Indian Express'']] rated the film with 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "''Corona Dhavan'' is not a film where you pay attention to the themes explored or the development of character arcs.
