== Reception ==

=== Critical response ===

''Vash Level 2'' received generally positive reviews from critics.

''[[India Today]]'' gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, describing it as "raw, chaotic and unsettling." The review highlighted the film’s ambition in scale and bold visual horror, while noting that the second half falters with pacing issues and a rushed climax.<ref>{{cite web |last= |first= |date=27 August 2025 |title='Vash Level 2' Review: Krishnadev Yagnik film amplifies terror |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/reviews/story/vash-level-2-review-krishnadev-yagnik-film-amplifies-terror-2777484-2025-08-27 |access-date=27 August 2025 |website=India Today}}</ref> Rahul Desai of [[The Hollywood Reporter|''The Hollywood Reporter'']] wrote "The film-making in Vash Level 2 is slick without being distracting. It’s not the Bollywood genre slickness that tends to overproduce every scene."<ref>{{Cite web |title=‘Vash Level 2’ Movie Review: Fear and Loathing in Modern Gujarat |url=https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/reviews/theatrical/vash-level-2-movie-review-fear-and-loathing-in-modern-gujarat |access-date=2025-09-01 |website=The Hollywood Reporter India |language=en}}</ref>

Mayur Sanap of ''[[Rediff.com|Rediff]]'' rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "Amidst the films that mistake great length for epic stature, Vash Level 2 keeps the pace well under two hours. And even though it doesn't deliver an absolute knock-out experience we would expect from a horror sequel, it has got enough zing to keep the franchise hurtling forward."<ref>{{Cite web |last=SANAP |first=MAYUR |title=Vash Level 2 Review: Chills And Thrills |url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/vash-level-2-review/20250829.htm |access-date=2025-09-01 |website=Rediff |language=en}}</ref> ''[[Scroll.in]]'' described the film as "effective" for its shocks and nightmarish visuals, particularly in the first hour. However, the review also stated that the film delivered "diminishing returns," pointing out issues with the screenplay and narrative depth.<ref>{{cite web |last= |first= |date=27 August 2025 |title='Vash Level 2' review: Effective shocks and nightmarish visuals, but with diminishing returns |url=https://scroll.in/reel/1085832/vash-level-2-review-effective-shocks-and-nightmarish-visuals-but-with-diminishing-returns |access-date=27 August 2025 |website=Scroll.in}}</ref>
