Critical reception

Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5, saying "Silsilay is more of an experiment that caters to a very small segment of moviegoers. At the box-office, the film holds no appeal for an ordinary cinegoer." [4] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com wrote "Among the three stories, the first is clever, the second is predictable and the third is emotional. The climax is dealt in a disappointing manner. The film could have ended earlier, instead it stretches unnecessarily for seven or eight minutes." [5]
