ETimes rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and the review reads, “Director Prem Shankar's Thekku Vadakku explores the life of two 'rivals' Shankunni (Suraj Venjarammoodu) and Madhavan (Vinayakan). The film delves into their life, rivalry and their ongoing case to claim ownership of a piece of land. The narrative is non-linear which works only in some places, especially because the casting was not done well for the supporting actors, which in turn affects the narration. Most of the supporting actors who were roped in had the capacity to carry the sort of characters they were expected to portray. That, in part, contributes to the disconnect one feels with the characters.”
