Amruta Subhash's portrayal of Radha was widely praised, with Scroll.in calling her "terrified, terrifying, and terrific," highlighting her ability to convey complex emotions. [8] Aarti Borade of TV9 Marathi wrote "The story of the film, though simple, is very deep while cinematography and background music make the film more terrifying, but the lack of VFX is annoying at some places." [9] Sameer Jawale of Loksatta praised performances by Amruta Subhash (Radha) and Anita Date (Ganguti), music, cinematography and a gripping climax with two surprising twists. [10]
Kalpeshraj Kubal of Maharashtra Times rated 3 stars out of 5 stars and describes Jarann as a slow-starting film that accelerates into a gripping, psychologically complex horror experience. It uses subtle hints and metaphors, with a disjointed narrative and abrupt character exits, making it unconventional. Ideal for fans of psychoanalytic horror, it may not appeal to those expecting a typical horror movie." [11] Anupama Gunde of Pudhari rated 4 stars out of 5 stars and wrote "If the film had shed light on the motives and mindset of the character who practices black magic like Ganguti, this film would have been more gripping."
