Reception
Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost rated it 3/5 stars and said that "In conclusion, Controll is a well-meaning film with a socially relevant message, but it doesn’t always rise to the potential of its premise. It’s a decent watch — especially for viewers interested in tech-driven narratives — but it stops just short of being truly gripping."[9] Simran Singh of DNA rated it 3/5 stars and stated that "The basic premise of Controll isn't novel, but it's still relevant. Also, the performances of Rohit Roy and Thakur Anoop Singh make this crime thriller an engaging watch."[10]
