Reception
Amit Bhatia of ABP News rated it 3.5/5 stars and said that "Kaal Trighori stands out as a memorable and well-crafted horror film—dark, intense, and thought-provoking. If you’re in the mood for a gripping horror-psychological thriller."[9] Archika Khurana of The Times of India gave 2.5 stars and said that "For fans of myth-driven horror, the film offers intermittent chills — even if it never quite becomes the genre-breaker it aims to be."[10] Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost awarded 3 stars out of 5 and stated that "It can be said that Kaal Trighori even stands up to Hollywood-level horror films — though the faint-hearted should beware!"[11]
Bhawna Arya of Times Now rated it 2/5 stars and described it as "Kaal Trighori is an ambitious and polished supernatural thriller that successfully merges mythology, suspense, and psychological horror. With a compelling plot, strong performances, and an immersive atmosphere, the film only falls short when it comes to its predictable plot."[12]
