Reception
A critic from The Hindu wrote that "This isn’t the smartest film in the horror space, but it tries to bring in something new. If only the taut first half was followed by an equally gripping latter half". A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Ninu Veedani Needanu Nene is promising in parts with entertaining moments but loses steam when it matters the most".
