Boy Samuel - The First Step in Alternative Cinema.[6] Jayabhuvaneshwari B critic of Cinema Express rated 2.5 out of 5 and wrote that "Siruvan Samuel ends with Ajidhan (who has won our hearts with his performance by now), drenching in the rain, as he repents for a small yet significant mistake he makes in the course of fulfilling his dream.".[7] Bhuvanesh Chandar critic of The Hindu wrote that "Amateurish filmmaking sabotages a hearty tale".[8]
