Reception
Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India gave it 2 out of 5 stars, calling the film "The performances sustain the film but don't salvage it. The hastiness shows as the plot goes haywire. Better editing and implementation of the story could’ve made this a good watch but alas, it's not". Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror gave the film two and a half stars out of five and opining that "To sum it up, it is a mildly curious and yet annoying film, which starts off well but then gets lost. It's not entirely a waste of time but keep your expectations in check". Soumitra Pote of Maharashtra Times rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Art direction is also good. The point remains that if this was a love story, the bond between these three would have been much more fun if it had been explored separately keeping in mind the times". Jayanti Waghdhare of Zee News rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "One thing that strikes in the movie is that since Nilkanth Master is a love story, it is difficult to tell how much justice has been done to the story and its characters".
