Reception
Sify.com wrote that "With a script that is full of flaws, the film is like a never ending journey. Fazil should call it day and retire gracefully, than making such stupid films. Our advice- Pick some of the old gems (DVD) of the director like Nokketha Doorathu Kannum Nattu, Ente Mamattikuttiyammaykku, Manivathoorile Ayiram Sivarathrikal or Aniyathi Pravu and re-live those fine memories . You will find it much more enjoyable than getting a migraine watching this film!"[1]Paresh C Palicha from Rediff.com wrote" All seen and suffered; Fazil's Moz & Cat may just turn out to be the biggest disappointment of this festive season" [2]Unni R Nair from Indian Express wrote "sadly enough, it turns out to be a damp squib. Dileep is his usual self as Moz, while Baby Nivedhitha is good as Tessy. Debutante Ashwathy is also good as Nandana. The rest of the cast are all strictly okay. Music, technical aspects etc jell with the theme and the mood, but it's the confusion about the overall mood that's to be mentioned. It's rather confusing and hence whatever is good about Moz And Cat is lost in this maze"[3]
