Reception

A critic from The Times of India rated Udal 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Udal is definitely worth a watch".[4] Sajin Shrijith from Cinema Express rated Udal 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "The ambition of Udal, however, is more in line with James Hadley Chase than Raymond Chandler or James M Cain. It has the finesse of a small airport novel you read and then forget. But it's a decent effort, nevertheless. In the midst of its overwhelming darkness, Udal also finds some time for dark humour."[5] Shilpa S from OTTPlay rated Udal 2 out of 5 and wrote "Although Udal boasts of the talents of stars such as Indrans and Dhyan Sreenivasan, Ratheesh Reghunandan fails to weave a compelling narrative out of the claustrophobic thriller."[6] Sangeetha KS from Samayam rated Udal 4 out of 5 and wrote "The film fills in as a seat-edge thriller beyond the family drama. Throughout the film, the scenes are taken to another level, shattering the audience's guessing what will happen in the next moment. The film received an A certificate for its sexually explicit content, obscene language, and violent scenes. It is better to watch movies without children."[7]
