Reception

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "Despite a stellar cast, this horror thriller is a dud and a waste of talent. A few minutes at the beginning and the end pique one’s interest and the rest of the story in the middle fails to deliver".^[2] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "On the whole, S5-No Exit is an unimpressive thriller because of its poor content and over-the-top performances. Some comedy scenes are okay to enjoy but the rest of the film has nothing to engage audiences".^[3] A critic from NTV gave the film a rating of 1+1⁄2 out of 5 stars.^[4] A critic from Filmibeat wrote that "S5 No Exit is a solid political thriller made with elements of politics, comedy, action and suspense. It is a small film with good production values. Those who like political thrillers will like this movie".^[5]
