Saibal Chatterjee, NDTVMost of the critics have praised Mukul Sharma's screenplay and Kannan's direction. Saibal Chattterjee says, "What really is Ek This Daayan: an out-and-out horror film, an creepy paranormal thriller or a twisted psychological drama? It actually blends elements from all three genres and weaves around them the anguished love story of a man whose obsession with the occult gets the better of him."
As the movie moves into the second half, it slips a few notches down. Saibal writes, ""But that’s about it. Take the surface gloss away from Ek Thi Daayan and all you have is a rather muddled film that meanders into a tame denouement that borders on the risible. The director overplays his hand and puts all his cards on the table a tad too quickly."
