The New Indian Express

Setting aside the songs, Sunanda Gowtham’s background score helps establish a mood, and the cinematography complements the eerie setting—well-shot but never quite spectacular. Apaayavide Eccharike offers moments of enjoyment, but the distractions undermine the sustained tension that could have turned it into a gripping experience. It doesn’t fully capitalise on its potential. The danger here isn’t real—it’s a mirage, a fleeting sense of suspense mixed with laughter, one that can be sat through.
