Reception

[edit]

A critic from The Times of India gave the film a rating of one out of five stars and opined that "The film is full of badly-staged scenes that are further made insufferable by the overpowering background score, poor cinematography (that gives it the feel of a dated TV serial) and a climax that is perhaps the film’s one and only — and unintended — joke".[4] Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express wrote that "'Yugam' has an unusual plot, intriguing at times. But a taut screenplay and a more focused narration could have made it an engaging thriller".[5]

Box office

[edit]

The film is a box office failure.[6]
