Reception

A critic from 123telugu rated the film 2+12 out of 5 and wrote that "On the whole, Narakasura is an okay action drama that offers nothing new regarding the storyline. While Rakshit Atluri’s performance and the action sequences are decent, the lazy screenplay hinders the film’s progress". [3]

A critic from The Hans India wrote that "Sebastian Noah Acosta Junior initiated the narrative in an engaging manner, piquing interest by emphasizing the protagonist's disappearance". [4]

A critic from Indiaglitz rated the film 2+14 out of 5 stars and wrote that "Rakshit Atluri's Narakasura directed by Sebastian Noah Acosta Junior had a few interesting elements but the failure to highlight them turned it into another routine revenge drama". [5]

A critic from OTTplay rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Overall, Narakasura attempts to shed light on transgender equality, but loses steam due to unnecessary commercial elements. A bit more seriousness in narration and impact in drama would have helped the plot a bit". [6]
