Reception

Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu stated that "Poorna is one of those rare performers who has not gotten the spotlight she deserves. She is fantastic in Devil, but the film does not offer her much, despite being centred around her. The film suffers from an identity crisis as it fails to pick a particular route and, in the end, gets reduced to a thriller that offers no thrills." [4] Narayani M. of The New Indian Express rated the film two out of five stars and noted that "Director Aathityaa's Devil, even with its straightforward title, does not seem to know what it is about, as the film itself suffers from an identity crisis. Throughout the runtime, we are left wondering if it is either an emotional drama, a horror thriller, or both". [5] Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India rated 2 1⁄2 out of 5 and stated that "what works in Devil's favor is that the film has a wonderfully subtle Poorna at the center of it." [6]
