BollywoodLife says the film successfully blends mythology, mystery and family drama, with Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia giving the story strong emotional appeal.

DNA India says the film is an entertaining ride that convincingly blends folklore with family drama and fantasy, making its mythology and supernatural adventure engaging.

Koimoi says the film treats Indian folklore, faith and regional traditions with sincerity and creates an appealing mythological world. It finds the comedy and parts of the first half weaker, but considers the overall fantasy treatment successful.

Pinkvilla says the film starts well and benefits from its cultural setting and lead chemistry, but loses its grip in the second half as too many genres and ideas compete for attention.

Bollywood Hungama says the devotion, mythology, horror and humour create an interesting premise, but a messy screenplay, weak villain track and haphazard climax badly hurt the film.

India TV News says the film begins with an intriguing folklore premise involving Van Devi and Chhath Puja, but too many ideas prevent the fantasy thriller from coming together smoothly.

The Indian Express says the film is an incoherent mix of fantasy and folklore with little convincing storytelling. It finds almost nothing in the execution or characters that works.

NDTV says the film becomes increasingly confusing as it moves between faith, superstition and fantasy. Its promising forest mythology is weakened by muddled writing and an ineffective climax.

Filmibeat says the folklore and supernatural premise has potential, but a weak screenplay and lack of consistent thrills make the film underwhelming.

News18 says the film has some entertaining moments and an appealing fantasy-comedy setup, but the execution is inconsistent and does not fully make the most of its promising idea.
