Reception
Sowmya Sruthi CH of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote, "For those who are fond of horror films though, Chitrangada might be a decent one-time watch. But if a horror isn’t even your thing, then you might as well spare yourself the trouble." Suhas Yellapantula of The New Indian Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote, "With a film that deals with reincarnation and spirits, there's hardly any argument that suggests they actually exist, while the execution leaves a lot to be desired."
