Reception

Swathi P Ajith of Onmanorama wrote that "However, considering the significant theme it presents, Live can still be considered a must-watch."[4]. Anandu Suresh of IndianExpress.com gave two stars out of five and wrote that "In short, Live joins the ranks of other Malayalam films that, despite attempting to tackle a socially relevant subject, fail to grasp its true purpose."[5] Vignesh Madhu of 1.5 our 5 rating and stated that "Shine Tom Chacko's lively act is the only saving grace in this well-intentioned but ineffective film".[6]

S.R.Praveen of The Hindu stated that "The makers of Live seem to have given much thought on the subject they are dealing with, but not much on how they would portray it on-screen. It thus ends up as a weak take on a relevant issue."[7]
