Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost rated the film one out of five stars, and upset with the atmospherics, camera work and Taapsee Pannu's performance. She wrote, "The larger message Blurr is aiming at gives it an interesting additional layer, even though it is not fully realised". Roktim Rajpal for India Today wrote "Taapsee puts her worst foot forward and excels in a few inherently intense scenes. That said, one gets the feeling that she does not get enough scope to internalise the characters". Tanul Thakur of The Wire wrote, "But Blurr resists the easy temptations, finding wrong ways to divulge personality, solidify tension, spring surprise". It also earned negative review from Saibal Chatterjee who wrote,"The film loses sight of its primary purpose - delivering a thriller that makes the most of its resources while staying within its chosen parameters".
