A third added, “Great effort by Lokesh Ajals, though the story could’ve picked up pace.”

Box Office and Controversy

Despite being a Tamil release, Eleven earned Rs 6.8 crore, with Rs 5 crore from Tamil Nadu alone, surprising many due to Naveen Chandra’s stronger Telugu fanbase. Produced on a Rs 4 crore budget, the film managed a modest profit.

However, the film faced turbulence when portions of its teaser were leaked online on 13 June 2025, just before the OTT release. The makers responded swiftly with a strong warning against piracy.
