Reception
A critic from The Times of India gave the film three out of five stars and wrote, "Director Mahesh has tried to dish out a thriller drama with a simple storyline, blended with gripping narration. However, he succeeds in parts."[11] A Sharadhaa of Cinema Express gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "O is a novel attempt that does leave a few aspects unanswered, but if you are a fan of the horror and suspense genre, this one is perfect for you."[12]
Swaroop Kodur of OTTplay gave it two out of five stars and wrote, "O is not the most innovative horror film out there and nor is it original in its conception. The film, like many of its kind, depends heavily on post-production and less on a solid script which eventually becomes its undoing."[13] Y. Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror rated the film three out of five stars and wrote that "O is worth a watch for those who get their thrills from horror."[14]
