Reception
The film received mostly mixed reviews from critics.

In The Times of India, Renuka Vyavahare gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Sukhee has a heartfelt premise but it lacks pace, struggles to be engaging and gets too preachy to be perfect towards the end." On the website OTTplay, Ishita Sengupta was negative, writing that, "Sukhee joins an increasing list of outings that intends uncovering the feminist undertones of being a homemaker, something that traditionally has been looked down upon. But in doing so, it also sees it as a problem that needs solving."
