Reception
editA critic from The Times of India wrote that "All said, ‘The Wife’ remains true to its genre but the pace of the film seems exhausting because it takes too much time for the big reveal. Though for a horror and suspense film, it manages to give you only a few spooks".[5] A critic from Zee5 wrote that "Overall, the film makes for an engaging watch with a lot more to offer in terms of horror than just jump-scares".[6] A critic from Zoom wrote that "All in all, The Wife isn't the horror film you could look forward to having spine-chilling moments".[7]
