Reception

A critic from The Hans India wrote that "Sebastian Noah Acosta Junior initiated the narrative in an engaging manner, piquing interest by emphasizing the protagonist's disappearance".^[3]

A critic from OTTplay rated the film two out of five stars and wrote that "Overall, Narakasura attempts to shed light on transgender equality, but loses steam due to unnecessary commercial elements. A bit more seriousness in narration and impact in drama would have helped the plot a bit".^[4]
