Reception

[7] Rishabh Deb of The Times of India awarded 2.5 stars out of 5 stars and wrote "The filmmaker has beautifully captured the finer nuances of the story through Mati's experiences, be it of wearing a bikini or breaking down when her mom constantly calls her in Goa, The film captures such small moments of an innocent girl's journey of discovering life." [8] Ganesh Matkari of Mumbai Mirror awarded 2.5 stars, he critiquing the film for being contradictory. Despite its attempts to present a modern message about freedom and individuality, it ultimately reinforces a traditional belief that parents' advice is paramount, which undermines its central theme and makes the ending seem preachy and ineffective.
