"Let's take a moment to appreciate Vijay Raj. What an actor, every role he does, he just nailed it. One of the finest actors but yet to get the name that he deserves. And every single actor in this movie has done a tremendous job. Sure, sure, a must watch movie," wrote one more user.

While some felt that Raaz nailed the role of a trans woman, others felt that the makers should have approached a real trans woman to play the character rather than casting him.
