Cast

Reception

A critic from The Times of India gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, "To their credit, MS Baaskar, Karunakaran and Vaibhav try to keep us invested but the listless writing doesn't keep us engaged."[9] Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express gave it 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "For a film that depends majorly on lie, deceit and adultery for humour, Malaysia to Amnesia is depressingly unwitty."[10]

Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu gave a mixed review stating, "Director Radha Mohan’s core idea has the ingredients of a fun trip, but this flight gets stranded."[11] Haricharan Pudipeddi of Hindustan Times gave the film a mixed review stating, "Malaysia to Amnesia is dreary at times and this is where it needed better writing to work on the comic front. The film is at best a harmless entertainer."[12]

Navein Darshan of The New Indian Express gave a mixed review and wrote, "So predictable are the events that you can easily second-guess each development. The lead cast, however, does its best to keep matters engaging, even during the film’s weakest, cliched moments."[13]
