Hindustan Times noted, "Sharvari is pretty confident for her first film and has a great screen presence." [8] It did not perform well at the box-office. [9]

Her next release was three years later, in the comedy horror film Munjya in 2024. Inspired by the Maharashtrian folktale of munjya , the film served as an instalment of the Maddock Supernatural Universe.
