Reception

Kaagar received mixed reviews from critics. Shalmesh More of Koimoi rated it 3.5 out of 5 and praised the strong performances and direction. Criticized for trying to retain specific treatment, even explaining that some scenes go over the top. The music of the film is very loud, especially in the action sequences. Also the background score goes overboard. [12] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote "The film doesn't know how to deal with Rani and the talented actress for her role. Rani's bitter choice between love and duty falls by the wayside as Kagar runs into a scandal that no one saw coming because in the real world don't things end like that? The opening credits declare that Rinku Rajguru has been "reintroduced" by Kaagar, but despite getting top billing, Rani slips to the bottom of the pile. Rajguru is still at large, but this time there is no clear direction." [13] Ibrahim Afgan of Maharashtra Times gave 2.5 out of 5 and criticised shallowness of characters, ignorance of subject matter, and clumsiness of story limits this movie. From background music to acting, its immaturity makes the film mediocre. A new political leadership in the new era is a good subject, but it needs not only the will but also the right support. This error has made this an artifact common. [14] Chitrali Chogale of Times Now Marathi gave 2.5 out of 5 and wrote "An only daughter of a spacious political family and her lover from a poor house, he is accompanied by his two friends and the difficulties faced by this love, is somewhere back to the plot of Sairat movie, but the movie does not make that much impact. The uniqueness of Rinku's character, the broken story in the film and the stretched story towards the end, at least if these things were played out, the film would have been effective." [15] The Times of India gave 2.5 out of 5 and opined as average experience. [16]
