"Very few stories cleanse your heart like Sudani from Nigeria. It is hard not to be swayed by the humanity here. Very few can leave the theatres without their eyes welled up. Sudani from Nigeria is one of the best movies made this year". The New Indian Express rated the film 4 out of 5 stars.
"Heart-warming and honest" and added that "Sudani from Nigeria has been competently packaged and is a gripping tale. It's one of the finest movies that has come in Malayalam during recent times that steals your heart in a big way". Sify
"The 2-hour show is a delightful watch and viewers will have enough reasons to be awestruck as well as to laugh their hearts out". Malayala Manorama awarded 3.5 in a scale of 5
"Sudani from Nigeria might not have big names to boast of but it’s got everything in its right place, be it comedy, sentiments, thrills or tears". Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars, The Times of India
