Critical reception

The Times of India gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "all in all, the story falls into place at the end, despite the initial glitches".{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/bhaiyya-bhaiyya/movie-review/42018629.cms|title=Bhaiyya Bhaiyya Movie Review {3/5}: Critic Review of Bhaiyya Bhaiyya by Times of India|newspaper=The Times of India |publisher=|accessdate=1 June 2019}}

Sify wrote, "The makers of Bhaiyya Bhaiyya have just mixed melodrama, crass comedy, song n dance routines and some action sequences, without a proper recipe. Just like what happens in cooking, they end up making a tasteless dish".{{cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/bhaiyya-bhaiyya-review--pcmbwJbchcjid.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190601211615/https://www.sify.com/movies/bhaiyya-bhaiyya-review--pcmbwJbchcjid.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 June 2019|title=Review : (2014)|website=Sify|accessdate=1 June 2019}} Rediff gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Bhaiyya Bhaiyya does provide a few chuckles, but nothing substantial".{{cite web|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-bhaiyya-bhaiyya-offers-nothing-substantial/20140906.htm|title=Bhaiyya Bhaiyya offers nothing substantial|website=Rediff|accessdate=1 June 2019}} Nowrunning.com gave it a score of 1.8 out of 5 and wrote, "Sporadically bringing out a laughter or two, this is a film that very rarely engages us emotionally and which fundamentally falls apart at the seams".{{cite web|url=https://www.nowrunning.com/movie/14714/malayalam/bhaiyya-bhaiyya/4807/review.htm|title=Bhaiyya Bhaiyya Review - Malayalam Movie Bhaiyya Bhaiyya Review by Veeyen|website=NOWRUNNING|date=7 September 2014 |accessdate=1 June 2019}} Indiaglitz.com gave it 6 out of 10 and wrote, "Evenly paced and filled with comedies, this light hearted film entertains in parts.
