According to Moneycontrol, Kishkindhapuri is a real horror film that sticks to its genre and doesn't use any unnecessary tricks. Even if it has several problems, it keeps people intrigued with good scares, solid technological support, and great acting by Sreenivas and Anupama. Horror aficionados looking for a fresh Telugu thriller would find it worth seeing, even though the scenes are rushed and the movie doesn't have any emotional impact.

The movie's short running time makes certain essential details seem rushed, which is a problem. The climax gives the hero an interesting internal battle, but it ends too fast, so there isn't much room for emotional depth. The earlier parts are very slow. The movie may have been better if it had more details and made you feel more strongly.
