Release
[edit]Reception
[edit]Sanjana Pulugurtha of The Times of India said that "What ultimately holds the film back is that it never fully commits to either its crime-thriller instincts or its horror elements. The setup promises a layered mystery steeped in superstition and secrets, but the payoff settles for safer territory."[15] Bhargav Chaganti of NTV Telugu said that "The "Chain Reaction of Karma" concept chosen by director Sanjeev Megoti is very good. The way he balanced the mystery elements on one side while driving horror and action on the other side is impressive."[16]
