[5] Troy Ribeiro of the Indo-Asian News Service gave the film a 1.5 star rating and called it a sloppy representation of Poe's story.

He likened Alter's character to ACP Pradyuman of the television series CID and called his role a "miscasting".

He found the writing "lethargic and mediocre", the plot "a half-baked attempt", and the background score "a bit jarring to the ears".
