Reception

The Times of India critic Neeshita Nyayapati called it a "passable thriller" writing, "Bloody Mary falls short of being a complex and grey film because it doesn't go the extra mile to tell a novel story." She appreciated the performances of Pethuraj and Ajay, in addition to the technical aspects of the film.[5] Reviewing the film for The Hindu, Sangeetha Devi called it "sketchy," criticising the narration and weak characterization.[6]

Subbarao N of NTV criticized the story and screenplay while being appreciative of the performances, score and camerawork.[7] A reviewer from Pinkvilla also felt the same, stating: "When 'Bloody Mary' doesn't frustrate you with its superficial performances, the sheer quantum of convenient plot points does."[1]
