The political thriller 'Prathichaya', starring Nivin Pauly and Sharafudheen, has garnered mixed reviews following its release. Directed by B. Unnikrishnan, the film's debut has been met with a spectrum of opinions across social media platforms.

Criticisms include a predictable plot, clichéd melodrama, and sluggish pacing, with some describing the making as amateurish.
