Production

The movie produced by Small Town Cinema, grabbed Rs 5.6 crore, a record amount, as satellite rights from a Malayalam TV channel, for a Malayalam Movie .

Reception

The film got mixed reviews from the critics as well as from audiences. Sify said"Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal gives you the feeling that there is a basic storyline here, which could have been fine as a feel good entertainer, if it was made well. In the current form, all that this confusion drama succeeds in is to leave you more confused".^[4] Also Times of India rated the film 3/5 and said "Lal Jose intently tries to hold the complexities with a sense of triviality. He does away with tears and piano at times of grave emotional crises and would instead squeeze in cartoonish sequences. The light-hearted treatment works to an extent, but not for long as the narrative is crippled by a sluggishness that results from a poorly conceived script".^[5] Filmbeat said "There are some scenes where you can see the typical Lal Jose touch in the movie. But whether the director have fully succeeded to satisfy the viewers, it's a no. Still, Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal is a feel good movie which has its moments here and there" and rated 3/5^[6]

Box office

Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal was an average runner on the theatres. But Did a whopping business of Rupees 7 crores before the movies release, which made the movie a safe bet for the producers.
