Reception

Critical response

Kalpeshraj Kubal of Maharashtra Times rated 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "On the silver screen we are watching a drama full of melodrama; Chhapa Kata which gives such an experience is somewhat different from the recent Marathi movies."[1] Film Information opinioned that "Sandeep Manohar Naware's direction is ordinary. Music is nothing to shout about and the same goes for the lyrics. Mukul Kashikar's background music ought to have been better. Gaurav Ponkshe's camerawork is average. Meenal Rakesh Mhadnak's editing is loose."[2]
