Reception
Anub George of The Times of India rated two stars out of five and wrote "A paper thin plot, poor direction and clunky dialogues lead to 'Date Bhet' being an entirely skippable film."

Saurav Mahind of Urbanly Pune Mirror gave one out of five stars and reviewed: Date Bhet is an ordinary rom-com with no charm and no romance. Not worth your time and money.
