TELUGU360 (Rating: 2.75/5):
Mrithyunjay A quietly unsettling concept thriller! Sree Vishnu anchors the film with a quietly intense performance, the soundscape keeps you on edge, and a few reveal moments genuinely sting! This trades loud highs for a slow, simmering tension. But the uneven pacing and some convenient writing choices blunt its impact, leaving it as a decent watch!
TELUGUCINEMA.COM (Rating: 3/5):
Mrithyunjay is a fresh Telugu thriller without unnecessary songs or hero moments. Sree Vishnu’s sincere acting, Hussain Sha Kiran’s engaging screenplay, Kaala Bhairava’s thrilling BG score, and Vidyasagar’s strong cinematography make it a must-watch in theaters
MIRCHI9 (Rating: 2.75/5):
Mrithyunjay presents a unique thriller with a fresh concept and gripping moments. The narrative keeps the audience involved for most parts. Overall, a good attempt and worth watching in theatres.
123TELUGU.COM (Rating: 3/5):
On the whole, Mrithyunjay is a decent crime thriller with a simple plot. It’s nice to see Sree Vishnu in a different genre, and he performs pretty well. Reba Monica John and Veer Aaryan are very good in their respective roles. The second-half portions, where the hero and villain try to outsmart each other, are decently engaging, but the first-half is below par, which diminishes the overall impact. If you like watching crime thrillers, you can give this film a try for its honesty.
TIMES OF INDIA (Rating: 3/5):
Kala Bhairava’s background score is one of the major highlights of the film. The cinematography work is decent and the lighting matches the characterizations of the lead actor and the lead antagonist. The editing work is good and the film has a runtime of just two hours. Hussain Sha Kiran takes up the Malayalam pattern of narration and the film is impressive at times. But from the protege of Sukumar, the audience will be expecting more moments with mind games and thrills. This goes missing in Mrithyunjay. On the whole, Mrithyunjay is a decent attempt if given a watch with low expectations. Mrithyunjay makes a decent one time watch.
