Hindustan Times's Rishabh Suri called Ananya Panday-starrer 'CTRL' a "desi, pacy version" of 'Black Mirror'. "If you have watched the show, CTRL isn't going to throw any surprises your way," he wrote, adding, "Some films...sound great on paper, but miss the mark when presented in the film format. The vice versa has happened as well...'CTRL' hangs somewhere in between."
