Taran Adarsh, Bollywood Hungama.com - April 18, 2013
The film sadly is never greater than the sum of its parts. The makers exploit more than a few age-old superstitions associated with witches, but have nothing particularly new or important to say. It nicely builds up intrigue, but leaves you wanting more in the end.
Rajeev Masand, CNN IBN - April 18, 2013
Ek Thi Daayan throws in a lot of it, though there seems room left for a little more. Impressively though, this is the most unusual Bollywood horror film you might have seen.
Vinayak Chakravorty, India Today - April 18, 2013
This film is far ahead of any of the recent horror films that you have watched. Watch it especially for the performances.
