Salonee Mistry of Pune Mirror gave the film 1 stars out of 5 and wrote " What could have been interesting and never seen before Marathi horror film, ‘Adrushya’ is a lost opportunity of taking a brilliant concept to a whole new level, owing to poor execution".

A reviewer of Maharashtra Times gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "From the beginning to the end, the movie can be predicted at many places. The writing continues to feel weak".

Sanjay Ghaware of Lokmat gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "Failing to strike the right balance between mystery and thrills, there is nothing special about this film. Therefore, it would be wrong to say that this movie is a must watch".
