India Today gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, describing it as "raw, chaotic and unsettling." The review highlighted the film’s ambition in scale and bold visual horror, while noting that the second half falters with pacing issues and a rushed climax.[11] Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter wrote "The film-making in Vash Level 2 is slick without being distracting. It’s not the Bollywood genre slickness that tends to overproduce every scene."[12] Mayur Sanap of Rediff rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "Amidst the films that mistake great length for epic stature, Vash Level 2 keeps the pace well under two hours. And even though it doesn't deliver an absolute knock-out experience we would expect from a horror sequel, it has got enough zing to keep the franchise hurtling forward."[13] Scroll.in described the film as "effective" for its shocks and nightmarish visuals, particularly in the first hour. However, the review also stated that the film delivered "diminishing returns," pointing out issues with the screenplay and narrative depth.[14] See alsoReferences
