He is not really keen about his father's tantric magic skills and is whiling away his time with two dumb cronies in a remote village.

Rating the film , Aswin J. Kumar of The Times of India said, "In Manthrikan, there are two elements that persistently try to outsmart the other in terms of producing the desired effects.

He concluded the review which mostly criticised the script and direction saying, "An ineffective narrative that is uncertain about mixing horror and humour ruins Manthrikan.
