Reception

The film released in October 2019 to mixed reviews. A critic from The Times of India gave the film two out of five stars stating that "Though the scenes between Ahaan and the dog are decently portrayed, with cinematography and music aiding it, the dearth of appealing sequences makes it a tedious watch". [6] Cinema Express's review noted "dog films have the power to make even the stone-hearted turn into bawling babies but Bow Bow just leaves you with a migraine". [7]
