Reception
Critical response
Swathi P. Ajith of Onmanorama wrote "While it offers a passable viewing experience, the horror, comedy, and mystery elements failed to meet the anticipated standard, leaving an impression of a poorly crafted plot."[14] Anandu Suresh of The Indian Express wrote "Sanal V. Devan's Kunjamminis Hospital, starring Indrajith Sukumaran, Nyla Usha, and Prakash Raj in key roles, falls short in presenting any noteworthy scenes that stir up emotions, whether they are of horror or comedy."[15] Sajin Shrijith of Cinema Express gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Kunjamminis Hospital may appeal more to the sensibilities of kids than the serious-minded moviegoer."[16][17]
