Critical reception

The Indian Express wrote "sprinkles of joy and uncertainty blended with gallows of humour, makes it a relatable one."[6] Times of India wrote "The film is slick and technically strong. It is stylised and visually appealing."[4] Bangalore Mirror wrote "Kismath has a story that is deliberately complicated [..] It is a nice little screenplay which is engineered to perfection."[7]
