Critical reception

Rediff gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and called it a "decent thriller".[5] Deccan Chronicle gave the same rating and wrote, "good execution and noteworthy performances make Achaaram a fulfilling experience", while calling it a "tactfully arranged psychological thriller".[6] The New Indian Express wrote, "The debutant director has tried to offer a dark psychological thriller with some freshness. But the screenplay could have been more interestingly crafted and the narrative style more polished. Achaaram is at the most a promising work of a debutant maker".[7] Sify wrote, "Acharam is watchable for the good performance of Ganesh Venkatraman and also for the basic story-line which reflects the current happenings in the society".[8]
