Critical reception

Fakt Mahilao Maate movie received positive reviews from critics. Rachana Joshi of Mid-Day wrote "The film should be watched to get the message along with the entertainment and to get the privilege of seeing megastar Amitabh Bachchan speaking Gujarati. A good example of new subject and new story coming in Urban Gujarati films is 'Only for Women'". [7] A Reviewer of Divya Bhaskar says "The best thing about this movie is its screenplay. At no point will you feel that the movie has slowed down a bit or that the scenes have become long. The director has shown every scene to the point". [8]
