[11] The original soundtrack and background score were composed by Rex Vijayan, with lyrics penned by Vinayak Sasikumar.

Deepa Soman of Times of India rated the film 3/5: "Soubin Shahir... uses the not-yet-explored horizon of the sport as the backdrop to tell the story of his home turf, its many varied characters with painful pasts and present, bittersweet realities of the region and its portraits of friendships.

"[17] Behindwoods' reviewer rated the film 2.75/5 and wrote, "Performance is the magical touch that makes the simple story special.

The story of the film is deeply rooted in Imran, the character played by Dulquer who has effortlessly given his best, be it the body language or the accent of the local Mattancherry boy.

Siddique and Shane Nigam have yet again delivered strong performances along with Soubin Shahir and Srinath Bhasi who essayed the roles of the antagonists to perfection.

The kids who played the pivotal roles of Irshad and Haseeb, the pigeon flyers also deserve a tap on their shoulders for their performances.

Indrans, Harisree Ashokan, Shine Tom Chacko, Gregory, Jaffer Idukki, and Srinda Arhaan have done a good job in their supporting roles.

"[18] Baradwaj Rangan of Film Companion South wrote "Parava doesn’t find a balance between its two narratives, two moods, and indeed, two modes of storytelling: one small and intimate, the other broad and more commercial, with a score (by Rex Vijayan) that just won’t stop.

And for a story that we entered through its children, it feels like a betrayal when they are abandoned for large stretches focusing on the grown-ups.
