The film received mostly positive reviews from critics. Behindwoods rated the film positively and wrote, "A fairly well made thriller by debutants with strong technical backing".http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/ra/ra-review.html "Ra". 'Behindwoods'. 5 December 2014. Retrieved 6 December 2014. M. Suganth of 'The Times Of India' gave 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, "Ra is essentially a haunted house thriller but the writers Ashraf and Prabu Yuvaraj (the hero and the director of the film respectively) introduce an element of fantasy that gives it a different color. And, their treatment isn't kitschy in the least bit and the director whips up a genuine sense of dread like Hollywood horror films Insidious, Stir Of Echoes and Dead Silence".[https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/ra/movie-review/45388146.cms "Ra"].
