Reception

edit

Archika Khurana of The Times of India wrote, "In a nutshell, ‘Murder At Teesri Manzil 302’ will undoubtedly make you nostalgic for the late Irrfan Khan, but it’s definitely not one of his best films to remember."[2] Gautaman Bhaskaran of News18 wrote, "Shot in the exotic locales of Bangkok and Pattaya, the film had remained in the cans for 14 years, and it is not clear why it chose to emerge now. Obviously, the direction and execution seem somewhat outdated, and it is not surprising that the thriller should face obstacles; its pace is broken by songs and dances. Totally needless."[3]
