Reception

Rishita Roy Chowdhury for India Today rated the movie 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Footfairy is paced impressively. As soon as one attempts to crack the identity of the serial killer, the story turns. One is kept guessing throughout the run of the film, until the very closing scene."[9] Moumita Bhattacharjee of Rediff.com found Footfairy a intriguing and shocking movie. Bhattacharjee wrote in her review "The performances are nuanced and not a single character is without a purpose. Gulshan Devaiah takes time to grow on you because he isn't the usual brooding police officer with a dark past. There's no back story here, just the investigation."[10] Binge rated 2.5/5 and wrote "Footfairy has very few artists. None of them has a full-fledged role in making an impact."[11] Rating 3/5 stars Shubham Kulkarni for Koimoi wrote "Footfairy puts these corpses in a giant suitcase. Why is that point not investigated? There are many such loopholes and loose ends that are not concluded well."[12] Ruchi Kaushal of Hindustan Times felt upset about the disappointing ending and writes "Even if the maker wants to not just highlight the obsession of the footfairy but also of a CBI officer obsessed with finding the culprit, the film feels pointless".[13] Sreeju Sudhakaran for LatestLY wrote "Hell, Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson and Anurag Kashyap have made a career out of that. But it would become less of a homage and more of a lifting-off, when your third act is almost similar to that of Memories of Murder".[14] Vishal Verma for Glamsham wrote "FootFairy is a rare dark psychological de noir thriller that unfolds in layers and conveys the irony of the ‘unseen’ human face."[15]
