Times of India calls The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond extreme in tone and shallow in depth. The review says the film pushes its message loudly with weak writing, predictable storytelling and little subtlety, though Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia and Aishwarya Ojha deliver sincere performances despite limited character depth.

2.5/5
Koimoi says The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond has a decent build-up and strong intentions, but suffers from over-dramatization, weak logic and imbalance. The review praises the performances, especially Aishwarya Ojha, Ulka Gupta and Aditi Bhatia, but says the film needed more credibility and nuance to make its serious subject more convincing.

2/5
Hindustan Times calls The Kerala Story 2 a loud, provocative sequel that favors sensationalism over nuance. The review says the film follows three girls deceived into conversion, but treats the subject with caricature, alarm and heavy-handed messaging rather than complexity. It says the performances serve the film’s intended tone, but the deafening background score, weak subtlety and outrage-driven approach make it feel more like a high-decibel thesis than a persuasive thriller.
