Reception
A critic from Madhyamam gave the film a positive review. Rohit Panikker of Times Now rated the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "Despite its average storytelling and the surfacial set-up, Idiyan Chandhu is a worthwhile watch if you are a fan of high-energy action sequences, because this film, unlike most choreographed action sequences that you may have watched, is a raw high school brawl, and there is absolutely no class or finery to it."
