TOI has ranked the film 3.5, and the review reads, “Mindiyum Paranjum is a film about love, longing, anxiety, and connection.
It does not chase spectacle. Instead, it lingers in moments, conversations, and the spaces between words. A delicate, emotionally resonant film that stays with you long after it ends. Inspired by O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi, the narrative draws from the essence of sacrifice and emotional giving, reimagined within a contemporary Malayali context.
Unni Mukundan portrays Sanal with remarkable restraint, allowing silences to speak. Aparna Balamurali brings warmth and quiet strength to Leena, making her solitude deeply felt and profoundly human.”On the work front, Unni Mukundan is awaiting the release of 'Maa Vande', a biopic of PM Narendra Modi. On the other hand, Aparna Balamurali has recently won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for her role in the film 'Soorarai Pottru.
