Reception
Susmita Sameera of The Times of India said that "Technically, the film remains decent and stays consistent with its grounded storytelling approach. What begins as an intriguing mystery gradually loses its grip, and the film is unable to sustain the tension and engagement it initially promises."[2] A. Sharadhaa of the Cinema Express said that "Imperfect, rough-edged, and visibly constrained by budget, Manga Maaya still understands something many larger thrillers forget: atmosphere itself can become suspense."[3] Y. Maheswara Reddy of the Bangalore Mirror said that "Ranjan Shetty has done justice to the role assigned to him. All in all, the movie is worth a watch for those who enjoy suspense thrillers."[4]
