Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5 saying that, "'Half Ticket' subtly brings forth a lot of issues like the rich-poor divide, opportunism and it does so effortlessly. The movie is unnecessarily stretched in some parts but nevertheless, it's definitely worth a watch." [2] Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter praised the performances of the child actors Shubham More and Vinayak Potdar and said that, "The young actors excel at replicating mischievous behavior, marginally sacrificing credibility in more dramatic scenes, but overall carrying the movie remarkably well for their age." [13] Jason Pirodsky of The Prague Reporter gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5 and said that, "Half Ticket is a terrific story and a real crowd pleaser, though there's a dose of soapy sentimentality toward the finale." [14] Jay Horton of Willamette Week gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5 saying that, "Sanjay Memane's buoyant camera work lopes through the Mumbai tenements with a kinetic vibrancy that propels forward the boys' quest with stirring grace and infectious enthusiasm." [15] Ajay Kulye of Marathi Cineyug gave the film a rating of 4 out of 5 and praised the acting performances, music and camerawork and concluded his review by saying that, "Half Ticket is one gem of a film." [16] Ganesh Matkari of Pune Mirror gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and said that, "Half Ticket is like a fable, which ends on a positive note, but gives us a lot to think about. I believe the film has a repeat viewing value due to its rich content, and the film should reveal more after each viewing." [17]
