Critical reception
'Indiaglitz' wrote "Debutante director R.S. Raja has tried to present "Maanga" as a film with loads of fun and horror elements though the film cannot be fixed under the "Horror-comedy" genre. The film also apparently aims to be considered as a science fiction but everything related to the scientific invention of the lead character is presented in a funny way. So one could not be clear whether the intention of such scenes was dealing with science or making us laugh". 'The Times of India' wrote "The film feels like a hodgepodge of movie references, bad science, and lazily written jokes put together in a manner that is hardly competent".
