Reception
[edit]The Times of India gave 2/5 stars, stating that "this romantic tale promises a lot, but doesn't eventually deliver." The idea of telling a story of an empowered woman is praised but it fails in its execution. The female lead character is painted as "more powerless than empowered" in a story filled with an "unconvincing" conflict and set of twists. The story is described as "a cop out" where "the treatment of characters seems hackneyed".[21]
The Deccan Herald gave 2.5/5 stars and stated "The film's title is based on a twist that isn't anywhere close to shocking. Somehow, '[email protected]' consistently struggles to be the film it wants to be."[22]
