Celluloid | Successful Journey Continues
Critical Reception
The film opened with tremendous response with strong positive reviews from the viewers. The audience applauded it for the performance of Prithviraj as J.C.Daniel as well as the director Kamal for crafting up a brilliant work. The critics consider it as one of the best movies of Malayalam of recent times, with great direction and tremendous acting performances.
Veeyen of Nowrunning gave the film a rating of 3 stars out of 5, and in a spectacular review stated that "what is astonishing is that Kamal's film, despite maintaining a distance from us with regard to time and space, continues to fascinate us in multiple ways. Passionate, provocative and real heartrending, this is the stuff with which classic films are made."
theaterbalcony.com gave 








and said that "is a classic at its best. And a never miss one too, with its perfect direction and performances and to the sincerity, Celluloid deserves to be applauded. It is the perfect tribute to Jivanayakam Cyril Daniel Nadar. Let’s shed some tears for our Father of Malayalam Films for the cruelty the society and the fate had done to him."
Aswin Kumar of times of india gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said "Celluloid, a moving tribute to Malayalam cinema from director Kamal is touching, poetic and immensely powerful. On a sprawling canvas, Kamal diligently recreates an age and fills it with characters who go on to become iconic figures in the history of Malayalam cinema. Prithviraj can hold this role close to his heart, so can Mamta. The dialect of Prithviraj may seem a bit jarring at times. But he masks it with an over-powering rendition of a character that transforms from youth to an ageing, frail, defeated soul."
Paresh C Palicha of rediff.com says "In Celluloid Kamal shows what 'passion for cinema' really meant before it became a stylish thing to say.Prithviraj is good and consistent as Daniel. Chandni gives a lifelike performance as Rosy with stars in her eyes."
Dilna Dileep of SpiderKerala gave 








and says "Those who really love Malayalam cinema, would surely love this movie and the tremendous performance put forward by Prithviraj". Its a touching movie which has other elements such as romance, life, comedy etc in it.
Lensmenreviews gave the movie Four stars out of five and said J.C.Daniel is Prithviraj's career best role till date.He says "On screen, I think this is indeed Prithviraj’s career best and the scene where Daniel takes his last breath is the best performance of Prithviraj I have scene. His voice modulation in the old ages and the body language as the son of J C Daniel deserves special mention">
tikkview.com on their review says that "Kamal was successful in creating magic with Celluloid, Kamal's passion and for the craft is truly visible in this gem of a movie; it is a must watch."
metromatinee.com said "Celluloid" bears a definitive Kamal signature. Prithviraj does an outstanding work, performing 3 different time frames to the hilt. And also said that "Celluloid is a must watch for any Malayali"
Malayalam Net gave a good rating of 3.25/5 and said that Celluloid is a must watch movie
