Reception

Critical reception

Anub George from The Times of India rated 3.5 out of 5 stars, commending its stunning sets, effective direction by Snehal Tarde, and excellent cinematography by Mahesh Limaye, all of which enhance the captivating narrative. However, he identified a notable flaw in the dance sequences, mentioning that, despite Mali's dancing talent, the editing and shot choices diminish her character's reputation. While the choreography looks impressive in wide shots, the emotional impact is lost due to the editing. Nevertheless, the reviewer recognises that Mali's strong acting makes up for this shortcoming. [28] Santosh Bhingarde of Sakal rated 3.5 stars out of 5 stars and praised the film's strong impressive music, performances, beautiful visuals, and applauded the effort to create a grand and elegant portrayal of the Peshwa era. Acknowledged some flaws but suggest that these can be overlooked due to the film's ambition and its rich display of beauty and dance. [29] Kalpeshraj Kunal of Maharashtra Times rated the film 3 stars out of 5 stars, and praised screenplay, dialogues, direction, cinematography for vividly bringing the Peshwa era to life. He commend Prajakta's dance, Umesh Jadhav's choreography, and Avinash-Vishwajit's music for enhancing the historical atmosphere. The dialogue is noted for its poetic rhythm and sharpness, effectively reflecting the characters' personalities. [30]

Box office

The film collected 8 lakh (US$9,600) on its opening day and 1.19 crore (US$140,000) in its opening weekend. [31]
