Critical Reception[edit]

Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, and praised the atmospherics, camera work and Taapsee Pannu’s performance. She wrote, “The larger message Blurr is aiming at gives it an interesting additional layer, even though it is not fully realised.”^[21] Roktim Rajpal for India Today wrote “Taapsee puts her best foot forward and excels in a few inherently intense scenes. That said, one gets the feeling that she does not get enough scope to internalise the characters.”^[22] Tanul Thakur of The Wire wrote, “But Blurr resists the easy temptations, finding fresh ways to divulge personality, solidify tension, spring surprise.”^[23] It also earned praises from Saibal Chatterjee who wrote,”The film never loses sight of its primary purpose – delivering a thriller that makes the most of its resources while staying within its chosen parameters.”^[24]
