Production

The film is based on a real-life incident that happened in Coimbatore: a teenage girl boards the wrong bus, initiating a series of interesting events. Filming was originally planned to be only shot in Malayalam, but the film also contains Tamil dialogues. The film was promoted as a bilingual by its makers although there were no evident reshoots.

Reception

A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of one-and-a-half out of five stars and stated that "Cochin Shadhi At Chennai 03 is a cringe-fest you can avoid without a second thought. It has nothing new to offer, making it stale wine in an old bottle". Regarding the Tamil dubbed version, Maalaimalar praised the story, music, and cinematography while criticizing the screenplay.
