==Reception==<br />
Upon release, the film received mixed reviews. Mihir Fadnavis of ''India.com'', who gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5, noted that "There's no way Agyaat isn't a major career embarrassment for director Ram Gopal Varma and a possible career stopper for Nisha Kothari."{{Citation needed|date=August 2009}}<br />
<br />
Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave 3/5 (Watchable) for director Ramgopal Varma's Agyaat; Masand states "At a time when special effects and digital tricks can be used to create just about anything, here's a reminder that what really scares us is the stuff we can't see".<ref>{{cite web|title=Agyaat Review - CNN-IBN|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masands-movie-review-agyaat-takes-long-to-rattle-thrill/98800-8.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090810023052/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masands-movie-review-agyaat-takes-long-to-rattle-thrill/98800-8.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=10 August 2009|publisher=CNN-IBN|access-date=10 May 2011|date=7 August 2009}}</ref><br />
<br />
Nikhat Kazmi of Times of India gave 3/5 and noted "It neither thrills nor chills with its repetitive running-for-life sequences and its absolutely infuriating end which offers no explanation whatsoever for the scurrying and screaming".<ref>{{cite web|title=Agyaat Review|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Agyaat/moviereview/4868847.cms|work=The Times of India|access-date=10 May 2011|date=7 August 2009}}</ref><br />
<br />
Subhash K Jha (IBOS) gave 3.5/5 noting "Jungle fever has never been more contagious. Every corner of the Sri Lankan jungle as shot with mesmeric skill by the cinematographer Surjodeep Ghosh is filled with danger."<ref>{{cite web|title=Agyaat Review - Indian Express|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/movie-review-agyaat/499354/|work=The Indian Express|access-date=10 May 2011|date=7 August 2009}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Taran Adarsh]] gave this movie a rating of 3.5/5 saying "Ramgopal Varma thinks differently. This time too, the maverick film-maker defies the stereotype and takes to the dense forests of Sri Lanka to meet an 'unknown' force" and explains further "But let's clear the misconception at the very start. Agyaat is no supernatural thriller (like Phoonk) or a horror fest (like Bhoot). This one's more of an adventure thriller that doesn't scare you at all, but makes you a participant in a pulse-pounding journey".<ref>{{cite web|title=Agyaat Review - Sify|url=http://sify.com/movies/bollywood/review.php?id=14903519&ctid=5&cid=2425|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090810074601/http://sify.com/movies/bollywood/review.php?id=14903519&ctid=5&cid=2425|url-status=dead|archive-date=10 August 2009|publisher=Sify|access-date=10 May 2011|date=7 August 2009}}</ref><br />
