Critical reception
Swathi P Ajith critic of Onmanorama wrote that "However, when it comes to depth, the film falls short".[5] Gopika of times of india gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and stated that "The songs in the movie are interesting, especially the ones in the opening credits and at the wedding held in Charles's locality".[6] Anandu Suresh of IndianExpress.com gave 1.5 stars of 5 and wrote that "Despite its marketing as a satire, Charles Enterprises, starring Urvashi and Balu Varghese, falls short of fulfilling its genre, often lacking direction and failing to provide anything fresh to captivate viewers beyond its semi-crime, semi-drama premise."[7]
Scroll.in critic wrote that "A fun premise is undone by sluggishness"[8]
