The film stars Rahul Ramakrishna, Avika Gor, Praneetha Patnaik and Vishwadev Rachakonda.

Macherla cast Ramakrishna as he wanted someone who would look like a "regular guy in the neighbourhood" while Patnaik was signed after watching her performance in C/o Kancharapalem, as Macharla felt she could pull of a character in a realistic setting.

[2] In her review for The Hindu, Sangeetha Devi Dundoo called the film a "telling tale of online voyeurism."

Praising the performances of Ramakrishna, Patnaik and Gor, Dundoo wrote, "NET could have been a full-fledged tech thriller had it looked at a crackdown on cybercrime, but it stays content in being a human drama, and leaving us with uneasy questions on privacy breach.

"[4] Cinema Express critic Ram Venkat Srikar felt that the film was more of a tale of voyeurism than a surveillance thriller.
