Sekhar: Watching #Neerali Mixed feelings. The movie isn't bad but it isn't too good either. #Mohanlal is carrying it on his shoulders by himself. I hope they redeem it towards the last part.

John: Dear #Neerali director. You can't waste the enormous talent of Lalettan. I bet if Neerali was directed by a director like Jeethu it would have been a massive hit. Now its time for #KayamkulamKochunni. Roshan is the director here. He is a master in direction.

Chalse sobaraj: #Neerali had a promising plot which makers failed to utilize. Ended up as a half baked output mainly due to 2nd half which failed to thrill.Good Perfo frm Mohanlal & Suraj on the positive & decent vfx to back it up A decent 1st half followed by a not so 2nd half. 2/5 @Mohanlal

Akhil: #Neerali : Dissapointingg Flick... Second Half Is A Torture.. The Main Negative Is That The Second Half Is Plain Without Any Twists Or Turns.. Lalettan Too Could Not Save This Below Avg Product..Avoidable
#Neerali : Avg First Half.. Nothing Intresting So Far.. Hoping For A Good Second Half... Interval Block Good.. Lalettan And Suraj Good.. Nadiya Moydhu

Forum Keralam (FK): #Neerali had a promising plot which makers failed to utilize. Ended up as a half baked output mainly due to 2nd half which failed to thrill.Good Perfo frm Mohanlal & Suraj on the positive & decent vfx to back it up
A decent 1st half followed by a not so 2nd half
Disappointing

Forum Reelz: An Above Average First Half Followed By An Average Second Half & An Ok Climax.
No Twists Or Turns To Keep The Audience Engaged Is The Main Drawback.
Good Perfo From The Lead Cast & VFX On The +Ve Side
Overall #Neerali Ends Up As An Average Outing.

Boom Cinemaz: #Neerali ::: Review
Simple one line story Falls flat with half baked screenplay...
Technical wise team failed to impress us.
Keep your expectations low...

Friday Matinee: #Neerali 1st half - An abv avg 1st half with the main plot is yet to begin.Lots of Vfx has been used.Good Performance from the Lead Actors. Awaiting much important 2nd half which will decide the fate
#Neerali - After an abv avg 1st half , #Neerali falls flat in its 2nd half due to a half baked Screenplay and immature direction.@Mohanlal has Nothing much to do. Will be tough to survive in the BoxOffice.

Malayalam box office: #Neerali Decent First half
Slow start, and the main story hasn't began yet. Technically Good, a lot of VFX
#Lalettan holding it together
Direction not that impressive
