Reception

of IndiaFM gave the film 3 out of 5, writing, "On the whole, UNDERTRIAL has a bold storyline and an engrossing second hour to stay in the viewer's mind." Patcy N of Rediff.com also gave the film 3 out of 5, writing, "Overall I felt the movie had a good plot, but was wasted. The very purpose why this movie was made will not be served. Audience will not go to the theatre to watch Rajpal Yadav as an old haggard old man. But it is indeed a good effort to make public aware of what is happening in our society."
