Kaul Manacha film received positive reviews from critics.

A decent entertainer this one". Soumitra Pote of Maharashtra Times gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "This was a topic with a good storyline. If a little more work had been done on the characters, their behavior, it would have felt more relatable". Raju Chinchankar of Lokmat gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "Had the story received a stronger treatment, its impact would have been heightened". Reshma Raikwar of Loksatta wrote "There are a lot of things that have been gathered in the film, if only a few things that were left out had been caught correctly, this would have been the best film!".
