Netizens' reviews on Netflix anthology Navarasa
Only after a few hours of Navarasa's release, Twitter was filled with fans expressing their thoughts and opinions on Mani Ratnam's passion project. Some fans elaborated on each episode of the anthology while some left an overall positive review for the film. One user was all praises for director Priyadarshan, who directed the episode titled Summer of '92, writing, "Priyadarshan should stay away from Bollywood. His better films always come from South. His segment in #Navarasa - #Summerof92 - is easily his best work in recent times." They also pointed out its difference from his recent Bollywood comeback movie Hungama 2.

Another fan left a comment on debutant director Rathindran R. Prasad's episode titled Inmai tweeting, "Wow. This was something special. Instead of opting for a typical horror film for the emotion of fear, they've tried a deeper element and boy it has worked out well. Outstanding trio of Siddharth, Parvathy and Ammu Abhirami. Impressive film!".

Loved the #TitleFont
As always visually strong filmmaking by Bejoy and Co.

What a dream debut for @thearvindswami as a filmmaker. #Roudhram hits you hard. Pasanga Sreeram delivers yet another towering performance. Good to see @arrahman and @santoshsivan coming together for this quality film, which is usually not their turf! #Navarasa
