Critical response
Mihir Bhanage from The Times of India wrote "While Preetam is still a decent watch, it could've been better with some crisp editing and direction. In the present form, it's not entirely fascinating, but not bad either". Jaideep Pathakji from Maharashtra Times says "In short, Pritam is a love story in a dream. There's a lot that's special about it". Viplav Gupte of News18 India wrote "If edited properly then this film can be more entertaining. Anyway, take a look. This is the story of a town in Konkan. You will like it. Language is not that big a barrier because all are sub title".
