Reception

But, a more focused narrative and seamless screenplay would have elevated it to a more haunting experience." [10] Sana Farzeen of India Today also gave 3 stars and said that "The film’s intriguing premise, combined with a spooky background score and impactful performances, keep you glued to your seats." [11] Tanmayi Savadi of Times Now criticizes the film saying "If a book had to be written on how to not make a horror film in 2024, A Wedding Story could open the first chapter. This film is a PG-level spook fest and doesn’t live up to the expectations." [12]
