FK critic
Udaharanam Sujatha first half. Manju perfects the character Sujatha
Some dialogues look artificial
TOI
All the songs in the first half, by Gopi Sunder, are soulful and melodious. The interval break triggers enough curiosity to sit through the next half. The actress who plays Sujatha's daughter plays her part well.
DR
manju has proved that she is the incomparable lady superstar with impeccable acting.Strong performances from joju,akshara.Must watch or u will miss an amazing performance
