Reception
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "While the premise of blurring the lines between traditional roles of good and bad is interesting, the film is hardly well developed".[5] A critic from The Indian Express wrote that "There are no humour elements, memorable moments or engaging factors in Kallan D'Souza other than the curiosity to know whether Asha and her child get a relief from the hands of Manoj".[6] On the contrary, a critic from Manorama Online wrote that "Kallan D'Souza is definitely an engaging watch".[7] A critic from OTT Play wrote that "Kallan D'Souza is a comedy that lacks any real humour and gets lost in what they really wanted to do, with the two subplots".[8] A critic from Behindwoods wrote that "Kallan D'Souza is a silent entertainer, wherein viewers will get their dose of entertainment without being subjected to mass-y dialogues or over-the-top dialogues".[9]
