Reception


Sify wrote that the film is "repeating those same old tricks in a new format! Still, if you are willing to leave your brains back home and set your mind just to have some fun at the theatre, well, Yakshiyum Njanum could turn out to be a watchable fare".[2] Rediff.com stated: "Yakshiyum Njanum is a substandard fare and nothing more".[3] Nowrunning.com wrote "Vinayan has moved miles ahead of Aakasha Ganga, and has tried to bring in a few fresh scares into his new film ... in spite of all this, there is no genuine scariness in it", but added that "Meghna who plays the Yakshi is a charmer".[4][5]
