The Hindu wrote, Its a solid backbone for a thriller except that Athithi, after a while, abandons this angle and drifts into a more personal zone. The bigger problem with Athithi is that the writing is all over the place. The Times Of India gavestars out ofand said This is a solid line for an edgeoftheseat thriller but Bharathan resorts to formulaic filmmaking unwarranted songs and a comedy track featuring Thambi Ramaiah that kills tension like bucketfuls of water dousing a minor fire The whiplash editing tries to whip up some tension but it only feels desperate and overdone. Silverscreen.in summarized its review with Athithi had a thrilling premise a normal man playing a highstakes game of hideandseek with a brooding stranger, but it is marred by poor execution and apathetic performances from the cast. Indiaglitz was more positive in its assessment, saying the movie was worth investing your time in.
