Reception

Critical response

[edit]

Akshay Kumar of Cinema Express gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Parari, for a decent amount of its runtime, is stuck to its core ideology of discarding all the man-made divisions. Barring some unhelpful subplots, information overdose, and occasional departure from his political standpoint, director Ezhil Periyavedi has made an impressive debut."[16]

Abhinav Subramanian of Times of India gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Parari raises important questions, but in trying to address everything, it ends up saying very little."[17] Anusha Sundar of OTT Play gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Parari deals with two much-needed to be talked about issues. But by taking the responsibility to voice out for both, the film dilutes the understanding and its direction."[18]

Accolades

[edit]

The makers announced that Parari bagged a bronze medal at the 57th World Fest-Houston International Film Festival under the Best Foreign Film category.[19]
