Critical reception
Sify wrote, "the film leaves you with some solid memories that will haunt you long after the end titles start rolling. But it could have been much better in a film, which has some fantastic moments, that too with spectacular visuals and superb music".[5] The Times of India gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Vinod Sukumaran's Haram has all the elements in place for an urban love story. However, what results is a mishmash sequence of disconnected -though beautifully made - sequences".[6] Nowrunning.com gave 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "A head-scratcher movie that steadily sinks down like a rock thrown into a grubby pond, Haram has none of the delight and elation that its title boasts of".[7] Rediff gave 2 stars as well and wrote, "the film loses its steam midway even though its length is barely two hours" and that "Haram does not make us happy".[8]
