Hindustan Times calls it an average, barely frightening horror comedy with an interesting folklore premise. Abhay Verma, Mona Singh, the cinematography and fast pace help make the imperfect film reasonably enjoyable.

5/10
Pinkvilla appreciates the fresh concept, production values, music, background score and charming young cast. An irritating monster voice, shallow characters, formulaic tropes and an absurd climax spoil the promising beginning.

Indian Express says the promising folklore based setup deteriorates after the opening half hour. Neither the jump scares nor the comedy work consistently, wasting an opportunity to create an original supernatural character.
