Reception
Idlebrain rated the film 3.25 out of 5 stars and noted that "On the whole, Pandem is a minimum guarantee film which you would never regret watching". Full Hyderabad wrote that "But the script is nowhere near taut, and the individual moments of the film completely undo the potential of the plot".
