Reactions to Prahaar were largely positive, though some viewers had mixed opinions. While many appreciated the trailer, few also questioned its theatrical appeal, noting that 26/11 has already been explored extensively on screen, while another felt the film could work better on OTT.
#Prahaar trailer is quite impactful. The star cast is good too. And the director Avinash Arun knows his craft well.
