Production

Sonia Agarwal agreed terms to work on the film during late 2021.[3] Shijinlal had initially approached Vimala Raman to work with him on a different project, before asking her to join the shoot of Grandma.[4] The film was shot during a 30-day schedule in Kerala.[5][4]

Reception

The film was released on 27 May 2022 to limited cinema halls across Tamil Nadu, and then re-released on 8 July 2022 to a wider audience.[6] A critic from Maalai Malar gave the film a positive review, revealing that the screenplay was "racy".[7] Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India noted that Grandma was "a decent watch", adding that "the good thing about director Shijinlal's Grandma is that there is neither a flashback for the supernatural element nor a revenge tale".[8] A critic from Aanthai Reporter also praised the film.[9] G.Gowtham Critic from India Herald "Although it is apparent that the director wanted to convey his ideology—that the spirit world is far better than the real one—the plot falls flat in the second half and leaves us wanting more."[10]
