Critical reception

The film received mostly positive reviews from critics. Behindwoods rated the film positively and wrote, "A fairly well made thriller by debutants with strong technical backing".[5] M. Suganth of The Times Of India gave 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, "Ra is essentially a haunted house thriller but the writers Ashraf and Prabu Yuvaraj (the hero and the director of the film respectively) introduce an element of fantasy that gives it a different color. And, their treatment isn't kitschy in the least bit and the director whips up a genuine sense of dread like Hollywood horror films Insidious, Stir Of Echoes and Dead Silence".[6] Cinemalead said, "It's an experiment worth making and definitely an experience worth enjoying for the audience. Can watch once!" and rated the film 2.5 out of 5.[7]

gollark: Basically everything can run in browsers nowadays.
gollark: I run Linux and it's good.
