== Reception ==<br />
[[Baradwaj Rangan]] called it "A pretty entertaining thriller that asks us to make up our own minds".<ref name="FC review" /> ''[[The Times of India]]'' wrote, "One of the positives of Uru, which has a few edge-of-the-seat moments, is its doing away with the done-to-death portrayal of ghosts and the clichéd flashback associated with them. Though the film starts as a laid-back attempt, it gets interesting as the story unfolds, with plenty of twists and turns in the last 30 minutes which are enough to keep viewers hooked".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Menon |first=Thinkal |date=16 Jun 2017 |title=Uru Movie Review {3/5}: Critic Review of Uru by Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/uru/movie-review/59179284.cms |access-date=2025-12-11 |website=[[The Times of India]] |language=en}}</ref><br />
