A critic fromThe Times of India wrote that "While the premise of blurring the lines between traditional roles of good and bad is interesting, the film is hardly well developed".[5] A critic fromThe Indian Express wrote that "There are no humour elements, memorable moments or engaging factors inKallan D'Souza other than the curiosity to know whether Asha and her child get a relief from the hands of Manoj".[6] On the contrary, a critic fromManorama Online wrote that "Kallan D'Souza is definitely an engaging watch".[7] A critic fromOTT Play wrote that "Kallan D'Souza is a comedy that lacks any real humour and gets lost in what they really wanted to do, with the two subplots".[8] A critic fromBehindwoods wrote that "Kallan D'Souza is a silent entertainer, wherein viewers will get their dose of entertainment without being subjected to mass-y dialogues or over-the-top dialogues".[9]
