Arun Kumar, an entrepreneur, is involved in an extramarital affair with another woman Bhavana. He lies to his wife that he is going to Malaysia to attend a business-related meeting but only to spend time with his girlfriend Bhavana in Bangalore. Arun's relationship with Bhavana is exposed later when he falls in difficult circumstances.
A critic from The Times of India gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote, "To their credit, MS Baaskar, Karunakaran and Vaibhav try to keep us invested but the listless writing doesn't keep us engaged." [8] Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express gave it 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "For a film that depends majorly on lie, deceit and adultery for humour, Malaysia to Amnesia is depressingly unwitty." [9]
Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu gave a mixed review stating, "Director Radha Mohan’s core idea has the ingredients of a fun trip, but this flight gets stranded." [10] Haricharan Pudipeddi of Hindustan Times gave the film a mixed review stating, "Malaysia to Amnesia is dreary at times and this is where it needed better writing to work on the comic front. The film is at best a harmless entertainer." [11]
Navein Darshan of The New Indian Express gave a mixed review and wrote, "So predictable are the events that you can easily second-guess each development. The lead cast, however, does its best to keep matters engaging, even during the film’s weakest, cliched moments." [12]
