Reception

Critical reception

Anjana George of The Times of India gave 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "The film is a pathbreaking celebration for women and a thought provoker for society."[8]

S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote "Through the stories of six well-written characters, Shruthi Sharanyam's film sensitively portrays the body politics faced by women while also delicately and empathetically handling homosexuality."[9]

Cris of The News Minute wrote "The film, through the stories of six persons, takes you through crises, both small and big, related to bodily issues that get resolved with the comforting support that one lends another."[10]

Princy Alexander of Onmanorama wrote "B 32 Muthal 44 Vare, as ambiguous as the title sounds, is a straightforward movie that explores the female psyche and the physique, through the lives of five women and a transgender."[11]

Vignesh Madhu of The New Indian Express gave 3 out of 5 stars and stated that "The title B 32 Muthal 44 Vare, which refers to the bust sizes of women's innerwear, is apt for this film as it deals with how a woman's breasts have a telling impact on the course of her life."[12]

Critics from Mathrubhumi[13] and Indian Express Malayalam[14] gave mixed reviews.
