Critical reception
Bus Stop film received negative reviews from critics. Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror says "There is some attempt to address the generation gap issue (nothing new there as well), but that comes much later in the film, and with little or no consistency. Apparently, the film’s title is a metaphor, but it remains unexplained. Although it did remind me of all the places buses could take me to if I could get up and leave". Keyur Seta of Cinestaan.com Wrote "Overall, you would be well advised to skip this Bus Stop". Swati vemul of Loksatta wrote" Overall, 'Bus Stop' feels lost due to the misalignment of the story, clumsiness, a few drawn-out shots and an incomplete ending". Ibrahim Afghan of Maharashtra Times wrote "The absurdity of this film makes you laugh out loud. So how can you say that this film does not entertain?". Raj Chinchankar of Lokmat wrote "If there are not many expectations, it can be given up at once; But despite the best team of artists in the Marathi film industry, nothing is coming out of this film, but the great sadness of the disappointment caused by this film is painful".
