Reception
A critic from The Times of India wrote that "In his sophomore effort, Saroj displays the same visual bravado that characterized his debut film. In fact, characters are bludgeoned to death with an instrument that seems to have been borrowed from the props of his previous film".[4] On the contrary, a critic from The New Indian Express opined that "At just a crisp 90 minutes of viewing time, 'Asthamanam' is an experiment worth a watch".[2]
