  1. The Hans India

    Film review ·

    Virupaksha is a genre flick that sticks to the genre out and out. It is commendable as it features a known hero. However, it relies heavily on the technical work to pull through more than twists and thrills, which is decent.
  2. Indian Express

    Film review ·

    All in all, Virupaksha is an entertaining supernatural thriller that gives value for money. The film perfectly creates the ambience at the very beginning and keeps on adding layers as the story progresses.
  3. Times Of India

    Film review

    Virupaksha is a well-crafted film – the kind that makes you look at the characters beyond the actors because the film has a suffocating atmosphere that'll draw you in. The kind that makes you flinch but not want to look away at the same time. Karthik Varma Dandu pulls off an effective horror film with Virupaksha.
  4. The Hindu

    Film review ·

    Virupaksha has plenty going for it and is among the well made supernatural thrillers in Telugu cinema in recent years. A big thumbs up to the technical team in particular. There are no screeching ghosts, no gory jumpscares but enough situations to invoke fear.
