Release

The Times of India gave the film three out of five stars and compared the film to a thin crust pizza: "In that sense, you could call Kalam a thin-crust Pizza — has everything you expect, but somehow doesn’t seem fullfilling".[4] The Hindu wrote that "Save for the twist that makes you turn back to the screen with mild interest, Kalam is a rather uninspired horror show".[5] Sify stated that "Kalam is a watchable horror thriller. Not a bad way to spend an evening".[6] Behindwoods stated that "Kalam, by no means, is a great horror movie. It’s more of a thriller than horror ".[7] The Deccan Chronicle wrote that "One cannot help but reminded of Karthik Subburaj’s thriller Pizza as most part of the film unfolds inside a bungalow. The saving grace is the unexpected twist in the climax and kudos to Robert Raaj for maintaining the suspense factor intact till the end".[8]
