Times Now gave a rating of 3 out of 5, and praised the performance of Ananya Nagalla and the storyline. [5] In contrast, 123Telugu rated the film 2.25 out of 5 saying, "elements like slow pacing, inclusion of multiple subplots, poor screenplay, and lack of interesting elements in the second half are the biggest drawbacks of Tantra".
