Reception
[edit]Abhinav Subramanian of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Watching Murmur feels like sitting through someone’s endless vacation footage – if their holiday destination happened to be a cursed forest with an invisible ghoul. This pioneering attempt at horror told entirely through character-operated cameras deserves recognition for its ambition, but delivers more monotony than menace."[5] Ashwin S of Cinema Express rated two point five out of five star and wrote that "A good horror film sets itself up well and delivers a knockout punch—Murmur lacks the latter but still has much to admire."[6] Maalai Malar critic gave three out of five star and noted that "Unlike the usual ghost films, he has shown a difference in this one. What is special is that it is shot using scenes recorded directly on camera".[7]
