Reception
The film received negative reviews upon release. Sreenath Nair of The Hindu was critical about the film, especially the script, camera and direction. In his review, he comments, "Good art seldom allows the viewer digressions. But, if one starts relishing the taste of popcorn and coffee more than anything during a movie, the work is not riveting. Idiots, K.S. Bava’s directorial debut, gives one ample opportunities for such culinary digressions."[1] Paresh C Palicha of Rediff.com rated the film 1.5|5 and concluded his review saying, "Idiots is a film that you would like to forget as soon as you get out of the theatre. Idiots lives up to its name."[2]
