Reception
'The Hindu' wrote "As the title suggests, Mei is about finding the truth behind The Curious Case of A Missing Girl. But its a weakly-scripted movie that doesnt quite take off." 'Times of India' wrote "The story and characters look too good on paper with some twists and a few engaging sequences. [..] However, the making of a slick thriller like this could have been more gripping as it lacks any sharp cuts or edge of the seat moments". 'The New Indian Express' wrote "One of the oft-used conclusions drawn about a middling movie is that it has its heart in the right place. Unfortunately, for Mei, a film based on organ trafficking, I cant quite say that". 'Sify' wrote "Overall, Mei is a watchable thriller for the research work done by the young team, the strong supporting cast and the crisp run time".
