India Today – Anu Menon falls into the cliche tropes in the ‘locked room murder mystery’ genre but still manages to offer something new.

Koimoi – The performances many times crosses the the boundary and becomes over dramatic only to be revived by Vidya.

Scroll.in – Among the noteworthy actors is Ram Kapoor, in full-blown corporate charlatan mode. Rahul Bose has a few fun moments as the eternally vamping Jimmy. Vidya Balan, who has previously played a rookie detective in Bobby Jasoos (2014), is as serviceable as the film itself.

Times of India – The film is watchable purely for the performances and the way it's stylised. It offer a couple of spooky scenes, too. But for a thriller, the movie deserved a far tighter screenplay, more suspense and surprise elements thrown in.
