[6] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that "Even though the casting of the Gujju-in-real-life Paresh Rawal as the intellectual Bengali, and Adil Hussain as the sheep-counting-to-no-avail businessman, feels counter-intuitive, the actors are consummate enough to carry it off."

[7] Dhaval Roy of The Times of India also gave it 3 stars out of 5 and said, "The film brims with wit, the charming yet somnolent vibes of Kolkata and Ahmedabad, and strong performances.

While its leisurely pace and some story elements may not fully engage all viewers, the film’s unexpected twist and strong character portrayals make it a worthwhile watch, ensuring that the tale resonates long after the credits roll."

"[10] Udita Jhunjhunwala of Mint observed that "The relaxed narrative pace is a blip in an otherwise satisfying retelling of a classic fable that is equally about outwitting another and surmounting self-imposed impediments."
