Reception

Critical response

Amavas received mixed reviews from critics. Reza Noorani of The Times of India rates the film one and half stars out of five and writes, "As far as the horror is concerned, there is nothing to worry about because the ghost is extremely predictable even when it tries to surprise you. While the effects are slick and the ghosts match up to international standards, they cannot save this film from turning into a painful two-hour-long watch".^[6] In contrast, Subhash K. Jha of News18 gave it three stars out of five and opined: "Death is indeed a "grave" matter in Hindi horror, what with the graveyard being a favourite haunt of horror. Amavas doesn't visit any graveyard but a grave plays an important part in the rites of exorcism. The film presses all the right buttons, ticks all the boxes".^[7] Kunal Guha of Mumbai Mirror, however, rated the film one star out of five, and felt it "reduces horror to hilarity".^[8]
