Reception
Sano Sansar was able to leave its mark on Nepali audiences that had begun to avoid Nepali language films due to its incomparable reputation with films from other industries. Because of that, audiences were leaning more towards Hindi language films (Bollywood). Despite having to face this challenge, Sano Sansar was able to perform very well in box office, in fact it was able to make record by earning 6.25 lakh Nepalese rupees within eight days of release.

Sano Sansar was received with positive reviews. Kathmandu Post gave very good ratings calling it "a great relief from the all time dhisum dhisum fight scenes and ghintang ghintang rhythmic songs of Nepali films".

The musical aspect of this film was also highly appreciated and the title track composed by Sachin Singh and sung by Babu Bogati became highly popular among youngsters.
