Reception

Idlebrain wrote "First half of this film is decent. But the second half is unbearable. Director seems to have lost grip on the film in the second half and tried to wind it up by rushing to the climax at a brisk pace and made the viewer feel clue less and uncomfortable".[1] Deccan Herald wrote "It`s surprising how directors take viewers for fools. In Ravoyee... the director has done just that. In fact he deserves a pat on the back for his ability to take viewers for a ride".[6][7]
