Production
The film is based on a real-life incident that happened in Coimbatore: a teenage girl boards the wrong bus, initiating a series of interesting events. Filming was originally planned to be only shot in Malayalam, but the film also contains Tamil dialogues.[1] The film was promoted as a bilingual by its makers although there were no evident reshoots.[2]
Reception
A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of one-and-a-half out of five stars and stated that "Cochin Shadhi At Chennai 03 is a cringe-fest you can avoid without a second thought. It has nothing new to offer, making it stale wine in an old bottle".[3] Regarding the Tamil dubbed version, Maalaimalar praised the story, music, and cinematography while criticizing the screenplay.[4]
