==Release and reception==

[[Sify]] gave the movie a negative review adding "Jawan of Vellimala is a messy tale that can surprise you with its hollowness. An amateurish effort at best, this film is unintentionally funny at times and lacks much fizz." The noted reviewer of [[Sify]] ''Moviebuzz'' making it clear that the movie collapsed in all aspects and establishes his arguments with several examples, giving the verdict as "below average" and moreover a very amateurish effort at its best.<ref name="Review 1" />

[[Rediff.com]] gave the movie a negative rating of 2 out of 5 stars. [[Rediff.com]] critic ''Paresh C. Palicha'' furnishes the review heading as "Nothing new in Jawan of Vellimala" and added "At the end, Jawan of Vellimala, which held so much promise in the beginning, just fizzles out."<ref name="Review 3" />

[[The Times of India]] gave the movie a negative rating of 2 out of 5 stars stating "Finally, when it happens, what is intended to be a glorious end, looks plainly dramatic and even a blessed actor like [[Mammootty]] fails to shoulder the burden" and concludes with a note "Jawan of Vellimala lacks appeal not because it is predictable, but because of the shocking manner in which it ruins what could have been a promising plot."<ref name="Review 5" />

''indiaglitz'' gave the movie a rating of 6/10 adding "The execution of 'Jawan of Vellimala' certainly ruins the possibilities of a great movie from a promising plot. But the movie will be fine for a onetime watch, if you don't go with bigger expectations."<ref>[http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/malayalam/review/15615.html Jawan Of Vellimala Malayalam Movie Review – cinema preview stills gallery trailer video clips showtimes]</ref>
