Critical reception
Rasheed of tikkview.com gives 4/5 for this movie and in his review it says that "Ente is a gritty gruelling story that will stay with you and make you feel extremely uncomfortable about the society of which you are a part of. Cinema has always been a medium for a momentary escape from reality, but Ente is not some fictitious piece of work that you will forget after sometime"
