Critical response

The writer, Sunanya Suresh of times of India stated that "Director Shankar's Jilebi from its promos looked like a raunchy comedy with a hint of a thriller. While Jilebi has good casting, the characters that these actors play goes amiss somewhere. Also, in an attempt to play to the gallery, one ends up seeing too much of cheesy, corny and sometimes unappetizing humour that seem strung together loosely with a story. This film is ideally meant only for those who look for some titillation on screen". [13]

Box office

The film Jilebi was performed fairly well at the sandalwood box office by collecting over ₹3 crore (US$380,000) on a production budget of ₹1 crore.[ citation needed ]
