Humor, romance, and suspense find space in the plot of this movie The film, which commenced production in August 2014, was released on 19 December 2014 during Christmas.

Meanwhile, the vehicle rolls over to the nearby forest and the dead body flies over to the top of a tree.

Then, a few men, while passing by, tell them that Anthony is sitting on the top of a tree, but they don't realize that he is dead.

In July 2014, Priyadarshan selected Jayasurya for the lead role of his next Malayalam film, with the actor stating that the film would be a "fun thriller", "something on the lines of Thenmavin Kombathu" and that it would feature several actors "known for their comic timing", like Innocent, Nedumudi Venu and Harisree Ashokan.

[9] Bhavna Pani was signed to perform in an item number, returning to Malayalam cinema after 10 years.

It goes with a narration that the film is about "a love, a death, a big secret and the villagers who are chasing a lot of money.

After we put together the track's music, Priyan wanted to give lyricist Rajeev Alunkal an idea about the song and scribbled a few lines.

"Its pack up for 'Aamayum Muyalum' now post production works and will be hitting theatres this Christmas", shared Priyadarshan on his Facebook page.

"Ponninkilukkam song surprises, as traditional music strips mix in brilliantly with a new age feel and beats.

[19] Sijit Chandra Kumar of Deccan Chronicle rated it 2/5 and called it "a comedy of 'errors" and stated "It is not hard to sacrifice logic and disbelief at the altar of comedy but the problem is, the jokes do not possess the intended punch but fall flat like the desperate jabs of a tired pugilist.

The mood is never serious, so you don’t take the message, too, all that seriously; that money doesn’t bring happiness or peace only but only breeds greed".

[20] Deepa Soman of The Times of India gave a rating of 2/5 and said "The makers of Aamayum Muyalum claim that it's a comedy flick, but after impatiently waiting for more than two hours for laughter, you end up with an entertainment-induced headache!

Priyadarshan has not stepped away from his heterogeneous formula that has been working for him since the 'Priyan – Lal' days" and gave a verdict "Great visuals and interesting characterization placed on a flat screenplay".

[23] Sharika C. of The Hindu wrote "Aamayum Muyalum is director Priyadarshan's attempt to be back in the race.

But this time, the racecourse is set over a long-winding two- hour-forty-five minutes, and by the end the viewer is too tired to find out who hit the chequered flag first.

For those who have already watched Malamal Weekly, there is nothing new here and for those who haven’t it’s only Diwakar Mani’s visuals and a few good performances that are the only highlights.".

[24] Indiaglitz.com rated 6/10 stars and stated "The movie which has the best of the supporting actors of Mollywood fails to engage us with its content and slapstick comedies, largely due to its script lines.

The script, especially the dialogues in the second half falters and the intended wits don’t make you laugh every time.

Amayum Muyalum  but doesn't ask for any big logic and if you can sacrifice it, you may not find it very difficult to endure an one time watch".

[25] Bollywood Chats rated the movie as Average and said "Aamayum Muyalum is a one-time watchable flick on the off chance that you go without much desire.

[27] Veeyen of Nowrunning.com rated an average of 1.8/5 stars and said "Aamayum Muyalum is another Christmas cracker that has gone down the drain this year.

I'd advise you to grab a DVD of 'Waking Ned' and have a fun time cuddled up before your television than waste almost three hours watching these bummer hare and tortoise tediously making it to the finishing line.

It remains that even if trimmed down to half its original length, 'Aamayum Muyalum' will still be a strenuous film that will challenge your tolerance every now and then".

When compared to the classic comedy movies in his credit, Priyadarshan completely fails to entertain the audience with the execution of a below-average script.

[29] Sify.com gave a "below average" verdict and wrote "Among this year’s films, 'Aamayum Muyalum' could easily get into the nomination list for an award in the "test of the viewer’s patience" category.
