The film was released on 13 May 2022 to positive reviews from critics and audiences. Premise Jomol is the elder child of Baby and Lilly. Their second child is Jomon, and Jomol thinks her parents love him more because he is a male. Jomon is a carefree person and holds certain chauvinistic values to an extent when it comes to the power struggle between him and his sister. He has two friends Manoj Sundaran and Eby Kuruvilla. Jomol with her keen perceptive skills catches Jomon's every little mischiefs and exposes them to their parents. All of these create a rift between them. Meanwhile, a love letter arrives at their house, and they both think that the letter was meant for the other person as the name was written as Jo, and they both try to unravel the full story behind the letter with evidence, and this forms the story. Jomon seeks help from his friends to find the writer, while Jomol seeks helps from their grandmother Annamma.

Sanjith Sidhardhan of OTTPlay gave the film 3/5 stars and wrote "The script is replete with references and incidents during the lockdown that most of the youth as well as parents could connect with. And these evoke plenty of laughter, especially when it comes in the form of banter between three college students, who are stuck home." Cris of The News Minute gave the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Film on sibling rivalry had promise, but failed to deliver." Deepa Soman of Onmanorama wrote "All the actors, be it Naslen, Mathew, Nikhila, Johny Antony, Sminu or those doing the supporting characters, have given their all to the wonderfully relatable everyday characters making this movie a safe bet as a weekend watch." S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote "The entire movie gets a treatment similar to that of some light-hearted web series, but not all of the attempted jokes land effectively." Sajin Shrijith of The New Indian Express gave the film 4/5 stars. References External links Jo and Jo at IMDb Jo and Jo at Box Office Mojo Jo and Jo at Rotten Tomatoes.
