Reception
The film was released theatrically worldwide on 10 March 2023.[8][9] The film received negative reviews from critics. Logesh Balachandran critic from Times of India gave 1.5 stars out of 5 stars and noted that " Memories, an experience we wish to erase from our memory ".[10] A critic from Thesouthfirst said, "In all, Memories really tests your memory and make you sweat to make a sense of it."[11] Cinema Express felt "film ends up being a largely forgettable experience despite having a fantastical premise at the core of it all".[12]
However, A critic from Maalai Malar gave a positive review citing " Director Sam and Praveen has directed the film with the same concept of memory erasing and memory inserting. Kudos to him for his new venture." and gave 2.75 stars out of 5 stars.[13] A critic from Dina Thanthi noted that " Directors Shyam and Praveen make the psycho-thriller story with a lively screenplay without boring the idea of erasing one's memory and replacing it with another."[14]
