Reception
Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Good Day may not revolutionize the drunk-man-finds-redemption genre, but it stumbles toward its morning-after clarity with enough dark wit to justify the journey."[12] Anusha Sundar of OTT Play gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Good Day is an average yet novel attempt on a man on his path to redemption. Much like the process, the day, or rather one night is not enough for a change. The film scratches the surface of interesting pockets of ideas and leaves it there, for further exploration."[13] A critic of Dinamalar rated the film with 3.5/5 stars, criticizing the screenplay and the lagging scenes.[14]
