Shubhra Gupta from Indianexpress.com gave the film 3.5 stars and wrote, “Come hither, those who want lessons in patriarchy 101, and see how the ladies of the house, back in the day, learned how to work their way around it: faces completely covered in front of the ‘sasur’ and the ‘jeth’ (the older men), and lifted a little, when it comes to the ‘devar’, the younger brothers and male cousins of the husband.
