The film received mixed to negative reviews. While Raghava Lawrence's performance and the horror elements were occasionally praised, critics widely panned the screenplay, humor, and the excessive runtime. Kangana Ranaut's portrayal of the dual roles also divided opinions, with some finding it over-the-top.

• A lengthy and often unfunny rehash of a classic, failing to deliver scares or effective comedy.

• Raghava Lawrence tries his best, but the convoluted plot and forced humor drag the film down.

• Visually attempts to mimic the original, but lacks the genuine tension and performances that made Chandramukhi iconic.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a significant disappointment, with many finding the film to be overly long, poorly written, and lacking the charm and scares of the original. While some appreciate Raghava Lawrence's effort, the humor is frequently cited as a major weakness.

This film is a spiritual successor to the 2005 film 'Chandramukhi', also directed by P. Vasu, which starred Rajinikanth and Jyothika.
