=Critical reception=
Sify wrote, "the film leaves you with some solid memories that will haunt you long after the end titles start rolling. But it could have been much better in a film, which has some fantastic moments, that too with spectacular visuals and superb music".{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/haram-review-malayalam-pcynt5cigjiie.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226041103/http://www.sify.com/movies/haram-review-malayalam-pcynt5cigjiie.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 February 2015|title=Review : Haram|website=Sify}} The Times of India gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Vinod Sukumaran's Haram has all the elements in place for an urban love story. However, what results is a mishmash sequence of disconnected -though beautifully made - sequences".{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/Haram/movie-review/46329925.cms|title=Haram Movie Review, Trailer, & Show timings at Times of India|website=The Times of India}} Rediff gave 2 stars as well and wrote, "the film loses its steam midway even though its length is barely two hours" and that "Haram does not make us happy".{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/review-haram-does-not-make-us-happy/20150224.htm|title=Review: Haram does not make us happy|publisher=}}
