[13][14] Raziya has a middle class Muslim family background from Kerala, her mother Jazmi is moderate, while her father Razak is religious conservative.

Raziya and her friends (Deepa, Jyothi and Shameena) come across challenge of their own wishes their discourse and situation creates some funny moments and partially help to keep movie light hearted.

[10] The original story 'Vaanku' about possibilities of a Muslim woman giving call to prayer was conceptualized by Unni R. in between 1995 and 1997 when he used to stay near Masjid-i Jahān-Numā mosque at Palayalam in Thiruvananthapuram.

[16][10][15][12] According to Sify's critic Moviebuss, in the subplot of the movie wishes/ dreams of 3 of Raziya's friends only partially succeed to create funny and light touch to the plot and at places end up bringing awkward moment for the audience, specially a dialogue in a feminism related movie creatively controlled by women shown to be delivered by female lecturer where in character says "..Will I hear next that some girl raped the principal?..” seems unexpected and awkward.

[17] Deepa Soman in Times of India review article, 'An unorthodox take on tradition' seem to concur with Shrijith's perception that shorter version of the film would have sufficed.

Soman maintains that the movie Vaanku encourages dialogue against sexism within families in a society where challenging existing religious taboos is not a cakewalk.
