Reception
editA critic from Hindustan Times rated the film 2 1⁄2 out of 5 and wrote that "The variation on Gray's name is not seen in the film. The director tries to please the audience with glamor and romantic scenes rather than the story".[1] A critic from Sakshi Post wrote that "'Grey' is a watchable thriller with a dose of romance and eroticism. And yes, there is suspense as well".[3] A critic from The Hans India wrote that "While movie lovers felt that they are in for a different thrilling treat and that too in grey shades watching ‘Grey’ in black and white, they are proven wrong. The entire espionage, honey trap, and other spy thriller backdrop go for a toss and for most of the first half, the director concentrated only on exploiting the glamor and beauty of Urvashi Rai".[4] A critic from News18 wrote that "With its fearless dialogue, captivating musical score, stunning visuals, and outstanding acting, Grey offers an irresistible blend that will leave viewers yearning for additional thrills".[5]
