Critical response
Panhala film received negative reviews from critics. Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote "The landscapes of Panhala have been captured well but that apart, the film disappoints". Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror wrote " While it would work in a play where the action is restricted by the stage space, in the open universe of cinema it feels odd. It’s a minor obstacle when you look at the entire film, but considering how our audience craves for a neat and clean resolution it may just be a step in the wrong direction". Jaydeep Pathak of Maharashtra Times wrote "Even though 'Panhala' is somewhat right in content, it fails in presentation. The lack of a strong screenplay linking the context of contemporary reality with the history of Panhala is clearly visible here".
