=== Critical response ===<br />
<br />
A critic from [[The New Indian Express]] wrote "The suspense begins when Yagna’s friends start getting killed one by one. Anji kills Raj , a dejected lover, who used to frighten the bungalow’s inmates<br />
In the climax, the director reveals that Anji is a police inspector who was assigned to investigate the mysterious deaths and Yagna is the owner of that bungalow.<br />
If you manage to sit through this film, it will be a miracle".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/amp/story/cities/bengaluru/2009/apr/18/new-age-kids-dabble-in-traditional-arts-42103.html|title=New-age kids dabble in traditional arts|work=[[The New Indian Express]]|date=18 April 2009}}</ref> A critic from [[Rediff.com]] scored the film at 1 out of 5 stars and says "Sree Murali once again proves that he is a good actor who unfortunately chooses the wrong films. He is good in the climax as well as in the fight sequences. Debutant Priyanka indulges in lot of skin show in the dance sequences. Om Prakash Rao's comedy gets to your nerves. Camera work of Niranjan Babu is passable while Sree Murali's music is very ordinary. All in all, a horror film you won't miss seeing".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.rediff.com/movies/2009/apr/17avoid-yagna.htm|title=Avoid Yagna|work=[[Rediff.com]]|date=17 April 2009}}</ref> A critic from [[The Times of India]] scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "While Srimurali has given his best, Priyanka is impressive. Omprakash Rao shines. Camerawork by Niranjan is poor. The less said the better about music by Murali".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/kannada/movie-reviews/yagna/movie-review/4417766.cms?from=mdr|title=YAGNA MOVIE REVIEW|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=10 May 2016}}</ref> A critic from [[Bangalore Mirror]] wrote "Deaths ensue and Aaji has the task of finding out the cause. Like in most such films, the climax reveals that various characters are not what actually they were made out to be. Disconnect between scenes, virtual absence of characterisation and bad narration makes Yagna a torture to watch".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/entertainment/reviews/yagna-horrible-not-horrifying/articleshow/22165827.cms|title=Yagna: Horrible not horrifying|work=[[Bangalore Mirror]]|date=17 April 2009}}</ref><br />
