The Hindu’s review of the film reads, “Girish AD is one of the most interesting filmmakers in Malayalam cinema, especially for the endless supply of relatable, humorous situations that propel his films, where the stories are not out of the ordinary. Bethlehem Kudumba Unit certainly ranks among his best, alongside Premalu and Thanneer Mathan Dinangal..”
