== Reception ==
A critic of Bollywood Hungama rated the film 1.5/5 stars and noted "Ulajh is a niche and confusing film which is devoid of any entertainment value". Sreehari Nair of Rediff.com rated the film 1.5/5 and observed that "Ulajh strikes you as an attempt at statement-making gone horribly wrong, a punchline that doesn't land, a roar that never reaches the ear"
Tanmayi Savadi of Times Now gave the film a rating of 3.5/5 and wrote "Sudhanshu maintains a balance between Suhana’s vulnerabilities and the tightness of the script. Often thrillers get predictable after a point; Ulajh holds onto itself well". Filmfare gave the film a rating of 3.5/5 and wrote "A more nuanced writing would have served her better." Sreeparna Sengupta of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 3/5 and wrote "As a spy-thriller 'Ulajh' is gripping in parts and a tad flat in others".
Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 2/5 and wrote the film is a "damp squib, wastes fine ensemble cast on amateurish plot-line". Rating the film 2/5, Suparna Sharma of The Week wrote "It’s a joyless film about a daddy’s little girl who must somehow redeem herself at least in her father's eyes. On that count the film delivers. On all other counts, it fails." Mayank Shekhar of Mid-Day rated the film 1 and commented "Untangling this pretentious nonsense".
