Reception
A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of two out of five stars and said that "MLA Mani Patham Classum Gusthiyum will bring more joy to Kalabhavan Mani than any of the other films, in which he has played the lead, have. Hardly a single frame in the movie goes without Mani".{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/mla-mani-patham-classum-gusthiyum/movie-review/12816249.cms|title=MLA Mani: Patham Classum Gusthiyum Movie Review|work=The Times of India}}
