Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. cinephile666 – ★★
   “Classic Harinam Singh nonsense. The monster is somehow both hilarious and genuinely creepy.”

2. vhsbabe – ★★★
   “This is what you watch when you’ve seen everything else. A fog machine, a monster, and some screaming girls — perfect weekend vibes.”

3. ghoulboy90 – ★★½
   “Truly bizarre and incoherent, but I couldn’t look away. What even is the plot?”

4. indiahorrorgem – ★★★½
   “Bless Harinam Singh for continuing to make trashy, lovable horror movies that look like they were filmed in someone’s backyard.”

5. eerieindia – ★★
   “Low budget doesn’t even begin to cover it, but there’s charm buried beneath the chaos.”
