Reception

A critic from Sify opined that "Orkut Oru Ormakkoottu tries to say lots of things, but doesn?t really succeed in doing it in an impressive way and ends being predictable, preachy and even insipid. 2011 had begun with Traffic, which had definitely raised the bar with its brilliance, but no such luck with the first release of 2012. That is sad!"^[4] Paresh C. Palicha of Rediff.com wrote that "One can only hope that Orkut Oru Ormakoot is the last film made on the worn-out theme of the abuse of the internet and the disadvantages of an urban lifestyle".^[5]
