Reception
Pavithra Srinivasan of Rediff.com rated the film 1+1⁄2 out of 5 and wrote that "Malayan is a worship-fest of Karan, at best".[1] Behindwoods wrote "Malayan is a good attempt which could have been done with some more grip towards the latter portions. Its raw and earthy treatment might work to its advantage in the B and C centers."[2] MyMazaa.com wrote "Malayan is your average commercial flick for most part, with Karan given the Himalayan responsibility of making it worth a watch. And he fairly succeeds."[3] This film was Television premiered in SunTV on April 17 2010 for weekend Saturday premiere.
