Reception
editKirtana of ABP Nadu gave one point five stars out of five and wrote that "All in all, they made me feel like a mediocre movie that I have seen before".[5] Anusha Sundar of The New Indian Express wrote that "There is an artificiality in the emotions, superficiality in characters, and reasoning behind their actions." and gave one point five out of five rating.[6] Janani K of India Today rated 1.5 out of 5 and stated that "Sunaina’s performance and her transformation do not attract our attention either".[7]
Padmakumar K of Onmanorama wrote that "The cinematic potential of the story could have been explored more. Nevertheless 'Ragina' succeeds as an engrossing thriller."[8]
