[edit] Reception

Upon release, the film has met with mixed reviews. Mihir Fadnavis of India.com, who gave the film 1 and a half star out of 5, noted that "There's no way Agyaat isn't a major career embarrassment for director Ram Gopal Varma, and a possible career stopper for Nisha Kothari."^{[citation needed]}

Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave 2/5 (Average) for director Ramgopal Varma's Agyaat; Masand states "At a time when special effects and digital tricks can be used to create just about anything, here's a reminder that what really scares us is the stuff we can't see".^{[citation needed]}

Nikhat Kazmi of Times of India gave 2/5.^{[citation needed]} Subhash K Jha (IBOS) gave 2.5/5.^{[citation needed]}

Taran Adarsh gave this movie a rating of 3/5 saying"Ramgopal Varma thinks differently. This time too, the maverick film-maker defies the stereotype and takes to the dense forests of Sri Lanka to meet an 'unknown' force" and explains further"But let's clear the misconception at the very start. Agyaat is no supernatural thriller (like Phoonk) or a horror fest (like Bhoot). This one's more of an adventure thriller that doesn't scare you at all, but makes you a participant in a pulse-pounding journey" ^[4]
