Reception edit
A critic from Deccan Herald wrote that "The director has taken care neither to justify the existence of ghosts nor their absence. He has left to the audience to decide. Five films released so far (Sagari, Kanakambari, Bidalare, Aptha Mithra and now Yahoo) have stories related to ghosts. But among all these, surely, the ghost in this film, is intelligent".[2]
A critic from Sify wrote that "Dattatreya as Haladi Nagappa’s ghost who appears after interval has done his role convincingly. The highlight of the film is the camerawork of Makarand Joshi who has lend credence to the suspense and horror with perfect lighting. The background eerie music of M. N. Kripakar is impressive while songs are just ok. The performances of Saurav, Neetha and Dhruva Sharma in a small role are all good".[3]
