Nandini Ramnath from Scroll.in wrote "Dilip Prabhavalkar mercifully lingers on even after his passing in the form of flashbacks. The rest of the cast perform efficiently, with Nandita Patkar noteworthy as the easily susceptible Kaveri". [21] Reshma Raikwar from Loksatta says "Due to the depiction in Konkan and the humorous arrangement, the movie 'Panchak' feels good, but the thought that it could have been made better with all these forces does not remain in the mind".
