Reception

Writing for Oneindia in 2015, a writer wrote that "Pattabhishekam was a film that used the chemistry between an elephant and Jayaram very well".[12] Writing for The Times of India in 2017, a writer wrote that "Malayalis’ love for elephants have been such that they have always extended their full support to films that has the animal playing a central role, be it the Jayaram starrer Pattabhishekam or the latest film Punyalan Agarbattis".[13]

Writing for Zoom in 2020, a writer wrote that "This 1990 comedy-entertainer is memorable for so many reasons. This varies from the jokes of the duo Harisree Ashokan and Jayaram, the dance and music numbers or the comic skill of Jagathy Sreekumar, but when asked, everyone would immediately choose the playful elephant featured in the movie".[14] Writing for The New Indian Express in 2021, a writer wrote that "The movie has some memorable scenes involving the man-animal trio of Jayaram, Harisree Ashokan and the calf, with the elephant race at the royal palace being the best".[15]
