Cinema Express
"Malayalam films that touch upon occult practices have rarely gone beyond the surface, and Bouma unfortunately follows suit"

Onmanorama
"Despite its inconsistencies, ‘Bouma’ makes for a reasonably engaging horror-thriller that finds its strengths in its execution rather than the novelty of its premise"
Also: "Cinematography, music and production design come together to create an eerie visual and sonic landscape without making the horror unnecessarily theatrical"
