Reception

Critical Response

Vignesh Madhu critic of Cinema Express gave 2 out 5 stars and stated that "Everything in the film, be its story, setting, characters, and conflicts, are already familiar to an average Malayali audience".[10] Shilpa S critic of OTTplay gav e3 out of 5 starts and wrote that "Lovefully Yours Veda makes no attempt to hide that it is Venkitesh’s vehicle through and through, done in a way that becomes cliched and unoriginal, as far as the story is concerned. Although not given a lot to work with Rajisha Vijayan and Sreenadh Bhasi try to make the best of what they are given, and brilliantly so."[11]
