The film garnered significant recognition, winning the Grand Jury Award at the 2023 Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles, and was selected as the opening feature film at the 54th International Film Festival of India in Goa. Additionally, Aattam took home the prestigious Best Feature Film award at the 70th National Film Awards.

Despite a lukewarm box office response, the film gained significant traction and viewership on OTT platforms, underscoring the relevance and importance of the topic.
