==Reception==
===Critical response===
''[[The Times of India]]'' rated the film 4 on a scale of 5, noting that the film is "a thought-provoking political drama", and that the success of the film is in "how it does not support any ideology, but shows a mirror to the problems in both political parties, and is not pedantic while doing so."<ref>[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/==malayalam/movie-reviews/ellam-sheriyakum/movie-review/87801767.cms "Ellam Sheriyakum"]. ''The Times of India''. 19 November 2021. Retrieved 21 November 2021.</ref> ''[[The Hindu]]'''s S. R. Praveen wrote that the director Jibu Jacob is "on the lookout for that perfect balance between a family drama and a political commentary" like in his earlier film ''[[Vellimoonga]]'', but "take the light-heartedness, humour, and engaging script out of that film [''Vellimoonga''], and you would be left with ''Ellam Sheriyakum''."<ref>[https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/hardly-anything-goes-right-for-this-movie/article37588739.ece "Hardly anything goes right for this movie"].

Rajendran felt that last 30 minutes of film were dull to the point that she had the urge to leave. Concluding, she wrote, "Maybe on paper everything sounded great, but what the audience witnesses and understands is a total misfire".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/ellam-sheriyakum-review-rajisha-asif-alis-political-romance-film-misfire-157833? |title= Ellam Sheriyakum review: Rajisha, Asif Ali's 'political romance' film is a misfire|first=Sowmya |last= Rajendran|website=The News Minute|date= 19 November 2021 |access-date=27 November 2021}}</ref>
