Reception

edit

A critic wrote that "Aashiq Vanna Divasam faces the problem of how to keep the audience engaged till they are led to the major theme. The conflict is apt for the drama but the issue is how long you bear the same thing that gets repeated? The mediocre treatment conveys the same impact".[9]

Awards and nominations

edit

Krish Kymal was one among the directors nominated for the Kerala State Film Award for Best Director.[10] Naseer Latif won the Honorable Jury Mention - Actor award at the Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival.[11] The film was screened at various film festivals.[12][13][2][14]
