Reception
Critical response
A. Sharadhaa of Cinema Express rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "Every big Indian family drama comes wrapped in the same satin gift paper: rituals, laughter, a courtyard filled with gossiping relatives, and a camera that refuses to leave the wedding canopy."[7]
Susmita Sameera of The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "Just Married, directed by CR Bobby, ultimately feels like a “just missed” chance to revive the magic of big family dramas. Still, for those who enjoy such stories, it is worth a watch."[8]
