Rejimon Nadar got drunk after heartbreak over his lover Rachana because of caste issues, while KJ Haridas Nair was the employer of a zoo who dealt with his problems because of his corruption. Later, he learns that Reji was stuck in the lion Darshan's den, and rushes to save him only to fight with him for survival, as news media cover the event.
MoJo, a South African lion who featured in Hollywood and Bollywood films, stars in the film.[7][8] To choose a lion for the film, lions were trained and videos of the lion were sent to the film crew for approval.[9]
The Hindu found the film "forgettable"[6] while The Week stated, "comic scenes mostly fall flat despite the best efforts of Suraj and Chackochan"[4] The News Minute too was quite critical of the overall production.[10] Cinema Express too was very mixed: "Just like a part of Darshan's meat is regularly stolen by the guards, denying the lion what it needs fairly, the film as a whole leaves a lot to be desired. While it soars in parts as a man vs beast tale, the lion's share of Grrr overstays its welcome."[11] A review in The Indian Express was more positive and found it was an "an enjoyable, light-hearted film".[12]
However Times Now[13] and The South First praised the film.[14]
