Reception

A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express rated the film three out of five stars and stated, "The horror elements in the second half do pick up; however, the plot meanders through various turns without fully grasping the tension that could have been built".[7] Shashiprasad SM of Times Now gave the film three out of five stars and wrote, "Apaayavide Eccharike, meaning 'Danger, Beware,' delivers both scares and entertainment, though mostly in parts. It can be watched without much danger—for a one-time experience."[8]

Y. Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and described the film as "scary but too long," stating that while the film has its moments, the stretched runtime affects the overall impact.[9] Suma Gaonkar of Hindustan Times Kannada gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars, mentioning that "Vikas Uthaiah and Radha Bhagavati deliver solid performances, but the film could have benefited from a tighter script."[10]
